Can you say 59-year olds?

Good evening. Is this sentence correct?

The disease more commonly afflicts the 59-year olds.

Thank you very much.

Unless there's prior context describing another group, I believe you should say "most commonly."

Yes, I can say it. (I had to practice a little.)

But I'm not sure what the approved way of writing it is.

- A.
