◉Disability-adjusted life years. Answer: A measure of the years of
healthy life lost due to ill health, disability or premature death.
Estimates the gap between current health status and an ideal health
status, with the entire population living to an advanced age free of
disease and disability (WHO, n.d.).
◉Years lost to disability (YLD). Answer: Estimates based on
prevalence data, real or imputed, that quantify the burden of
morbidity and facilitate comparisons of various diseases and
conditions (WHO, n.d.).
◉The top five causes of YLDs due to morbidity in individuals aged
10-19 years are common across regions and between countries of
various economic level and include. Answer: Unipolar depressive
disorders
Iron deficiency anemia
Asthma
Back and neck pain
Anxiety disorders
, ◉Risky Behavior: Sexual Activity. Answer: Adolescents who enter
puberty early are more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors
than adolescents who mature later. Adolescents whose bodies
mature earlier often end up socializing with an older peer group,
which can influence social and risk-taking behaviors putting them at
risk for early sexual activity, adolescent dating abuse, depressive
symptoms, and antisocial behavior (Maaks et all, 2020).
◉Risky Behavior: Tobacco Use. Answer: The adolescent brain is
particularly susceptible to the influence of substances, such as
nicotine, resulting in a higher rate of dependence in adolescents
than in adults. Nine out of ten adults who use tobacco started during
adolescence before the age of 18 years. Every day in the U.S., roughly
1,600 youth smoke a cigarette for the first time, and almost 200
youth start smoking. Flavored tobacco products are appealing to
adolescents, used by 85% of high school students and 74% of
middle school students (CDC, 2020).
◉Risky Behavior: Self-Injurious Behaviors. Answer: Many
adolescents engage in self-injurious behavior. Symptoms must have
occurred at least five times within the past year and be associated
with at least two of the following:
previous negative emotions
preoccupation with and a repetitive desire to engage in the activity
feelings of relief from negative emotions or a sensation of positive
feelings with activity (i.e., cutting or burning oneself)
impaired interpersonal relationships
