The individuals of age between 15-24 years are known as youth, which is a crucial stage of life. The events of these years will have a significant and enduring impact on young adults’ future work and career pathways, as well as their well-being, health, and financial security. Young adults also play a significant role in the nation’s future, and the healthy growth and well-being of the next generation. Youth health has declined in recent decades as a result of additional stress brought on by the changes that accompany adolescence and adulthood. Better health support would encourage young people to develop healthy habits that will benefit them throughout their lives and make a greater contribution to a healthier country.
