Health inequality threatening more adolescents worldwide than ever before

A detailed global study of the health and well being of the world's 1.8 billion adolescents and young adults reveals a growing inequality—and greater health challenges than those faced 25 years ago. Of the 1.8 billion adolescents aged 10-24, an additional 250 million worldwide are living in countries where they face a triple burden of infectious disease, non-communicable diseases and injuries compared with 1990. The global study provides the first comprehensive and integrated snapshot of young people who make up a third of the world's population. The findings are published in the Lancet.
