Adolescent health
Adolescent health is a term used in healthcare for the discipline that takes care of the health of young persons between the ages of 10 and 19 years. Though adolescents are often thought of as a healthy group, many of them do die prematurely due to accidents, suicide, violence, pregnancy related complications and other illnesses that are either preventable or treatable. Many more suffer chronic ill-health and disability. In addition, many serious diseases in adulthood have their roots in adolescence. For example, tobacco use, sexually transmitted infections including HIV, poor eating and exercise habits, lead to illness or premature death later in life. This discipline concerns itself with all the health issues related to adolescents.Nearby pages
