Who's At Risk
Warts can affect people of any age, but they are most common in those between 12 and 16 years old. It is estimated that 20% of schoolchildren and about 10% of the general population have warts. Those with HIV or organ transplants or on chemotherapy have a higher incidence of warts because of their weakened immune system.
