Adolescents: health risks and solutions

Around 1.2 billion people, or 1 in 6 of the world‘s population, are adolescents aged 10 to 19. Most are healthy, but there is still substantial premature death, illness, and injury among adolescents. Illnesses can hinder their ability to grow and develop to their full potential. Alcohol or tobacco use, lack of physical activity, unprotected sex and/or exposure to violence can jeopardize not only their current health, but also their health as adults, and even the health of their future children.

Promoting healthy behaviors during adolescence, and taking steps to better protect young people from health risks are critical for the prevention of health problems in adulthood, and for countries‘ future health and ability to develop and thrive.

Key facts

• Estimated 1.2 million adolescents died in 2015, over 3000 every day, mostly from preventable or treatable causes.
• Road traffic injuries were the leading cause of death in 2015. Other major causes of adolescent deaths include lower 

New attention to adolescent health

Adolescent health has come of age. Finally, there is a sense of urgency that action is needed now to make a real difference to the health of adolescents.

There is much to build on. Over the past two decades, there has been a spate of reports and advocacy documents, declarations and milestone publications in academic journals devoted to the health and development of adolescents. There are global goals and targets directed to young people and adolescents and youth are key to on-going and emerging public health agendas to the plans for the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) Beyond 2014 and, increasingly, to discussions about the post-2105 Millennium

Development Goals (MDGs). There has been attention to adolescents in global public health conferences and young people have been the focus of several recent United Nations initiatives and resolutions. Progress has been made in generating interest and commitment for adolescent health at global, regional, and, increasingly, national level.

As this report highlights, however, the increased concern has frequently not been transformed into action.

Brazil National Museum: as much as 90% of collection destroyed in fire

Building was not insured, the museum’s deputy director said, but some pieces survived including the Bendegó meteorite.

As much as 90% of the collection at Brazil’s National Museum was destroyed in a devastating fire on Sunday and – compounding the disaster – the building was not insured, according to the museum’s deputy director.

Some pieces survived, including the famous Bendegó meteorite and a library of 500,000 books – including works dating back to the days of the Portuguese empire – which was kept in a separate annex, Cristiana Serejo told reporters in front of the building’s blackened shell.

But it was still not possible to say how much of the collection had escaped the flames, Serejo said. “It could be 10%, it could be 15, it could be 20,” she said. “We had a very big loss.”

The museum’s Egyptology collection was completely destroyed, Serejo said.

Researchers who were able to enter one area of the building in Rio de Janeiro are starting to catalogue what little is left, said Serejo, who appealed to members of the public to return any items they found. Asked if the museum was insured, she screwed up her face in mock anguish, and shook her head. “I hope we learn from this,” she said. “Other public buildings are in the same situation.”
