Hygiene is important all throughout one's life, however during the critical years of childhood, one's body has not yet built up immunity to many diseases and thus personal hygiene become crucial.

By the time one is an adult, one's body has had time to build it's defenses against many diseases and so while hygiene is still very important to one's health, it is generally less fatal.
