Nutritional issues for adolescents

Leslie A Lytle et al. Best Pract Res Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2003 Jun.

Abstract

This chapter provides background on the nutritional health of adolescents, focusing on a public health or population-level approach. We detail some specific nutritional issues and related health outcomes that are particularly relevant to adolescents, including overweight and obesity, type 2 diabetes, eating-related disorders and bone health as it relates to calcium intake. We discuss implications of the trends in adolescent dietary habits for practitioners and propose a research agenda for better understanding and positively influencing future adolescent nutritional health.
