Study Notes
Overview of Adolescence
- Adolescence spans from ages 13 to 18, characterized as a transition from childhood to adulthood involving significant physical and psychological changes.
- Rapid growth and development bring about crises and dilemmas, with a shift from dependency to autonomy necessitating adjustment to new social roles.
Physical Changes During Adolescence
- Girls experience physical changes as early as 8 or as late as 13, including breast development, height and body shape changes, and the onset of menstruation.
- Boys typically begin physical changes between 9 and 14, marked by growth of penis and testes, changes in body shape, voice deepening, and facial and body hair growth.
Nutrition, Health, and Hygiene
- Adolescents require increased nutritional intake to support physical growth and adequate nutrient stores.
- Nutritional education is vital for developing healthy eating habits, including:
- Balanced meals at regular intervals
- Limiting sugary and fatty foods
- Avoiding junk food snacks, especially between meals
- Regular physical activity to manage weight and build strength
- Consistent breakfast consumption
- Proper cooking and hygiene for meat consumption
Major Health Concerns
- Obesity: Results from energy intake exceeding energy expenditure, often due to high consumption of sugar, fat, and snacks.
- Anemia: The most common nutritional deficiency globally, predominantly iron deficiency impacting approximately two billion individuals, especially adolescent girls during menstruation.
- Depression: Clinical condition distinct from temporary sadness; requires professional diagnosis for proper treatment.
- Iodine Deficiency: Essential for health; can lead to goiter and developmental issues, with increased needs during adolescence.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Adolescents face heightened risk factors, especially between ages 15 to 24. Common STDs include:
- Syphilis
- Hepatitis B
- Herpes
- HIV/AIDS
- Trichomoniasis
