What's the most common type of leukemia for a 20 year old female?


I'm doing some research about leukemia, and I was just curious.
Here are the 4 types of leukemia:
1. Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia
2. Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
3. Acute Myelogenous Leukemia
4. Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
If anyone knows, please let me know.

AML can occur at any age but is more common in adults over the age of 60 years. Around 30 children (0-14 years) are diagnosed with AML in Australia each year. It occurs more frequently in males than in females.

ALL can occur at any age but is more common in young children (0-14 years) who represent close to 60 per cent of all cases. ALL is the most common type of childhood leukaemia, and the most common childhood cancer. It is more common in males than in females.

CML can occur at any age but it is more common in adults over the age of 50, who account for nearly 70 per cent of all cases. CML occurs more frequently in men than in women. It is rare in children (0-14 years) with around 4 cases per year diagnosed in this age group.

The risk of developing CLL increases with age. Almost 80 per cent of all new cases are diagnosed in people over the age of 60 years. CLL is rare in people under 40. It occurs more frequently in men than in women.
