• To reduce death and disease in adolescents:
• An estimated 1.7 million young people aged from 10 to 19 die
each year due to accidents, violence, pregnancy related
problems or illnesses.
• To reduce the burden of disease in later life:
• Malnutrition in adolescence can lead to lifelong health problems
• Failure to care for the health needs of young pregnant women
damage their own health and that of their babies.
• Some of the highest infection rates for sexually transmitted
infections are in adolescents.
• Diseases of late middle age, such as lung cancer, bronchitis and
heart disease, are strongly associated with smoking habit.
7. HEALTH PROBLEMS OF ADOLESCENTS:
General health problems
• Adolescent never recognize symptoms, and mostly underestimate their problems
and they do not know where to go for help.
• As a result adolescents are the least likely section of the population to go for early
treatment.
• They may leave diseases untreated because they are afraid of the outcome,
worried about the stigma.
Malnutrition:
• Inadequate diet can delay or impair healthy development. Stunting during
adolescence.
• Anemia is also one of the most important problem among adolescents due to
malnutrition
• Obesity and eating disorders exist along side malnutrition.
8. Mental health problems:
• Depression is common, especially for young people who have low self-esteem
• Depression can also lead to the ultimate tragedy — almost 90,000 young people
commit suicide each year across the world
Early & unprotected sex:
• Many young people become sexually active without planning the sexual
relationship or thinking about the consequences.
• This results into the high number of unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions
and the steep rise in HIV infection.
