Adolescent health encompasses the physical, mental, and social well-being of individuals aged 10 to 19. This period involves significant physical changes, including puberty, alongside crucial psychological and social development. Key health concerns include nutrition, physical activity, sexual and reproductive health, mental health issues, and the prevention of injuries and substance abuse. Positive health outcomes are supported by healthy behaviours, access to healthcare services, and supportive environments at home, school, and community levels. Addressing adolescent health holistically ensures the foundation for a healthy adulthood, promoting resilience and well-being during this critical developmental stage.
