Nearly half of Aussie teens affected by chronic or developmental conditions, study finds

Sydney, Apr 2 (UNI) Nearly one in two Australian teenagers is living with a chronic disease or developmental condition, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or autism, said a new study.
The study was published online on Tuesday in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, the official journal of the Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA). As the first of its kind in Australia, it surveyed over 5,000 adolescents, linking these conditions to poor lifestyle habits, unhealthy diets, and mental health issues.
Lead author Bridie Osman from the University of Sydney's Matilda Center described the findings as a wake-up call to prioritize the health of young people.
