Why is adolescence an important time for chronic-disease prevention?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Lifelong habits can develop at this time
Adolescence is a period of rapid physical, cognitive, and social development. Eating patterns, physical-activity habits, sleep routines, tobacco or alcohol exposure, and attitudes toward body weight may become established during these years and continue into adulthood. Supporting balanced nutrition, regular activity, adequate sleep, and avoidance of tobacco helps lower later risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions. Thus, option A is correct.
