The potato famine, which struck Ireland in the mid-19th century, affected all age groups, but the elderly and young children were particularly vulnerable. Many older adults suffered from malnutrition and related diseases due to their weakened health. Young children were also at a higher risk of mortality due to their dependency on the potato as a staple food source, leading to increased rates of starvation and illness in this demographic. Overall, the impact was devastating across the population, but these age groups were disproportionately affected.
