Which demographic is commonly affected by polyarteritis nodosa?

Explanation:
PAN tends to affect adults in the young to middle-aged range, rather than very young children or older adults. This epidemiology makes young adults the most common demographic. In children, PAN is rare and Kawasaki disease is a different vasculitis that more often presents in children under five. In the elderly, other vasculitides and age-related conditions are more typical. So the age group that most commonly shows PAN aligns with young adults, making that the best fit.
