[2025-10-02T03:23:34.755221] [PI reasoning] **Determining VUR prevalence**

The user's question about vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) is interesting. I know that VUR is more common in female children overall, but in newborns, males have higher rates due to congenital issues. Once children grow older, females tend to have more UTIs, increasing VUR prevalence. Among the options, since "newborn males" isn’t listed, I believe the best answer is B, older girls. I want to double-check with the literature to confirm this before finalizing my response.
