Adolescent Health
The young people between the ages of 10 and 19 years are often thought of as a healthy group. In spite of this more than 3000 children die every day from largely preventable causes, according to a new file from WHO. Most of the young people are suffering from prematurity, injuries, suicide, violence, pregnancy-related complications and other illnesses that are either preventable or treatable. Many more children suffer due to chronic sick health and disability. Some of the serious diseases occurring in adulthood such as tobacco use, sexually transmitted infections including HIV, poor eating and exercise habits, all these effects lead to illness or premature death later in life.
