What age group is prone to having epilepsy seizures?

Patient's question:

The children of my neighbor's older sister have all played with me, but on many occasions, I noticed that the child would start to kneel unconsciously on the ground while playing and couldn't get up. I reported the situation to my neighbor's sister and her family, and then went to the county hospital. The doctor said it might be infantile epilepsy caused by premature birth.
What age group is more prone to epilepsy seizures? What kind of help is needed: What age group is more prone to clustering epilepsy seizures?

Doctor's answer:

Children and the elderly are both considered vulnerable groups. Children are very young and their bodies are still undergoing transformation, while the elderly are physically frail and more prone to epilepsy. From a medical perspective, the condition described above is primarily caused by abnormal brainwave pulses in children, with the common age of onset being around one year old. This is mainly related to the physical condition of the infant and the mother's premature birth. Epileptic seizures manifest differently at different ages. Sudden episodes in children are often overlooked, such as convulsions that can only be seen in infants with epilepsy. Typical absence seizures, although they indicate a potential for prolonged systemic recurrence, are rare outside of childhood and adolescence.
