This book offers a head-to-toe look at the health concerns most
pertinent to teens and young adults as well as what they can do to
safeguard their health. It also provides general information on
anatomy and function. Many of the United States' top health
problems-including heart attack, stroke, and complications from
type 2 diabetes-are relatively uncommon among teens and young
adults. There are, however, a number of health risks that are of
particular concern for individuals between the ages of 13 and 25.
Many of the behaviors this age group is likely to participate
in-from listening to loud music to vaping to constantly using
smartphones-can have a profound impact on their health. This book
examines these threats to teen health using a top-to-bottom
organization that focuses on particular parts of the body and
systems. Each chapter provides background information on the
anatomy and function of each part or system before diving into the
issues most pertinent to teens. Readers will discover how these
threats arise, how they can affect health both now and in the
future, and what can be done to prevent, treat, or minimize the
impact of these threats. Each chapter also includes a selection of
accessible further readings that can be used as a jumping-off point
for additional research. Addresses health issues of perennial
concern, such as STIs and the dangers of smoking and drinking, as
well as emerging hot topics, such as the dangers of too much
sitting and the overuse of computer and smartphone screens Features
a unique head-to-toe layout that presents information in an
organized and accessible way Includes easy-to-understand
explanations of the structure and function of each part of the body
or system Offers practical advice on how to safeguard the health of
each part of the body or system, providing readers with the
information they need to make better decisions in their daily lives
