Adolescence is a crucial developmental stage that has long-term effects on a
person's health and well-being as well as the welfare of society at large. Children learn
how to understand abstract concepts, form moral beliefs, and create and sustain
fulfilling relationships during adolescence. During adolescence, young people go
through a variety of transformations as they become physically adults. Changes in the
youth begin with the appearance of secondary sexual traits. Dynamic brain
development that is distinguished by interaction with social circumstances throughout
adolescence impacts the talents that a person carries into adulthood. In girls, there is the
onset of the menstrual cycle, which leaves a big impact on their body. Adolescents
across the globe have a lifestyle risk index comprising risky drug and alcohol
consumption, unprotected sex, sleep duration, and smoking, which is a fair to good
indicator of medical conditions connected to lethal (performing suicide and self-harm)
and non-fatal (major depressive disorders and severe psychological distress) diseases.
According to the findings of this study, the lifestyle risk index is a valuable summary
indicator in the context of teenage health promotion and noncommunicable disease
prevention. Adolescent lifestyle risk variables were discovered to cluster, giving
additional backing for the deployment of numerous health behavior modification
interventions rather than those having a single behavior emphasis.
