Affected are preschool and school-age children with a male predominance. [2] In one study, the median age was 6 years (range 2–13.2 years). [ 1 ] It has been estimated that BACM has an incidence of 2.69 cases per 100,000 children (<18 years) during epidemic seasons and 0.23 cases during non-epidemic seasons.

[3] [7] [8] The onset of muscle weakness typically begins around age four, with rapid progression. [2] Initially, muscle loss occurs in the thighs and pelvis, extending to the arms, [3] which can lead to difficulties in standing up.
