Abstract
This article describes important issues for the nutritional health of adolescents. The issues discussed include dietary factors involved in cardiovascular and cancer disease risk; osteoporosis and bone mineralization; overweight and obesity; related risk factors such as type 2 diabetes; and eating disorders. The discussion focuses on nutritional issues for the general adolescent population, rather than high-risk adolescents. Data are primarily drawn from large, population-based studies using representative samples of adolescents.Entities:
