Information About Teen Health

Teen health refers to health care and issues of those within their teenage years (ages 13-18). Some of these issues can include puberty, nutrition, sexually transmitted diseases, eating disorders, and exercise. Being a healthy teenager will lead to healthy aging and may prevent diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, osteoporosis, stroke, and some cancers when older.
