Age has less to do with it then the cause of the coma, how severe the injury was (if there was an injury), how long they have been in a coma, their overall health, and several other factors. Sometimes hospitals will actually induce people into a coma. If the patient has been intubated (put on a machine to assist their breathing), they will often be given medications to actually put them in a coma. This allows the breathing machine to work better because the body isn't fighting against it. When the patient begins to heal and can breathe on their own again, they will allow them to wake from the coma and remove the machines. The best thing to do is to talk to the doctor and find out WHY they are in a coma. They can estimate what the chances are in that patients induvidual case.
