`Adolescent health
`
`
`
`Adolescents — young people between the ages of 10 and 19 years — are
`often thought of as a healthy group. Nevertheless, many adolescents 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.
`
`WHO and partners launch guidance to help countries improve
`adolescent health
`
`In a major report WHO summarizes evidence-based adolescent health
`interventions and provides guidance on priority setting and programming.
`Additionally, 75 case studies from countries applying recommended
`programmes show the results of efforts to improve the health and well-
`being of adolescents.
