Adolescent health encompasses the physical, mental, and social well-being of individuals aged 10 to 19 years. This age group experiences rapid growth, hormonal changes, and the onset of reproductive capability, making them vulnerable to a wide range of health problems. Common adolescent health problems include malnutrition, anemia, obesity, mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, substance abuse, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), early pregnancy, and risky behaviors such as unsafe sexual practices and tobacco or alcohol use. Injuries, both accidental and intentional, also contribute significantly to adolescent morbidity and mortality. Epidemiologically, these issues have long-term implications, as behaviors and health conditions developed during adolescence can influence adult health outcomes. Malnutrition and anemia are prevalent among adolescents, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Iron-deficiency anemia results from inadequate dietary intake, poor absorption, or increased iron requirements during growth spurts. Obesity, on the other hand, has emerged due to sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy dietary habits, contributing to early-onset diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic syndrome. Mental health problems, often underdiagnosed, can manifest as stress, depression, anxiety, or behavioral disorders, exacerbated by academic pressure, peer influence, and family conflicts. Risky behaviors, including tobacco, alcohol, and substance abuse, as well as unsafe sexual practices, increase susceptibility to STIs, HIV, and unintended pregnancies, which in turn affect both physical and psychosocial health. To address adolescent health problems, national programmes emphasize a multi-sectoral approach.

Strategies include awareness campaigns, health education, peer counseling, provision of iron and folic acid supplements, promotion of healthy
