Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD)
ADHD is a neurobehavioral disorder
characterized by pervasive inattention
and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity and
resulting in significant functional
impairment. CDC estimate 6.4 million
youth ages 4-17 have been diagnosed
with ADHD by a healthcare
professional, and as of 2011, 2.5 million
youth ages 4-17 are currently receiving
medication treatment for the disorder.
In 2003 7.8% of school-aged children
were reported to have an ADHD
diagnosis by their parent.

Autism
About Autism
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of
developmental disabilities defined by significant
impairments in social interaction and communication
and the presence of unusual behaviors and interests.
Many people with ASDs also have unusual ways of
learning, paying attention, or reacting to different
sensations. The thinking and learning abilities of
people with ASDs can vary – from gifted to severely
challenged. ASD begins before the age of 3 and lasts
throughout a person's life. It occurs in all racial, ethnic,
and socioeconomic groups and is four times more likely
to occur in boys than girls.
Autism
People with ASDs have serious impairments with
social, emotional, and communication skills. They
might repeat certain behaviors again and again
and might have trouble changing their daily
routine. Many people with ASDs also have
different ways of learning, paying attention, or
reacting to things. ASDs begin before the age of 3
and last throughout a person's life. It is important
to note that some people without ASDs might
also have some of these symptoms. But for
people with ASDs, the impairment is bad enough
to make life very challenging.
Allergies
An allergy is a hypersensitivity disorder of the immune
system. Symptoms include red eyes, itchiness, and
runny nose, eczema, hives, or an asthma attack.
Allergies can play a major role in conditions such as
asthma. In some people, severe allergies to
environmental or dietary allergens or to medication
may result in life-threatening reactions called
anaphylaxis. Food allergies and reactions to the venom
of stinging insects such as wasps and bees are more
often associated with these severe reactions.

Asthma
Asthma is a disease that affects your lungs. It causes repeated
episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and
nighttime or early morning coughing. Asthma can be
controlled by taking medicine and avoiding the triggers that
can cause an attack. You must also remove the triggers in your
environment that can make your asthma worse.
Arthritis: The Nation’s Most Common
Cause of Disability
What Is Arthritis?
Arthritis comprises more than 100 different
rheumatic diseases and conditions, the most
common of which is osteoarthritis. Other
frequently occurring forms of arthritis include
rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, and
gout. Common symptoms include pain, aching,
stiffness, and swelling in or around the joints.
Some forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid
arthritis and lupus, can affect multiple organs and
cause widespread symptoms.

Birth Defects
Birth defects affect about one in every 33 babies born
in the United States each year. They are the leading
cause of infant deaths, accounting for more than
20% of all infant deaths. Babies born with birth
defects have a greater chance of illness and long
term disability than babies without birth defects.
Things You Should Know about Drinking Alcohol
during Pregnancy.
Drinking alcohol during
pregnancy can cause a
baby to be born with
birth defects and have
disabilities.
There is no known amount of alcohol that is
safe to drink while pregnant.
There is no safe time to drink
during pregnancy.
Birth Defects
Q. What causes birth defects?
We do not know what causes most birth defects. Sometimes they just happen
and are not caused by anything that the parents did or didn't do.
Q. What should I
do to have a healthy pregnancy?
Plan your pregnancy
– See your health care provider before getting pregnant
– Get any medical condition (obesity, diabetes, seizures,
etc.) under control before getting pregnant
– Take a vitamin with 400 micrograms of folic acid daily
before and during pregnancy
Take care of yourself
–
–
–
–
Get plenty of rest
Exercise moderately
Eat a well-balanced diet
Avoid contact with chemicals and other things in the
home and workplace that may harm an unborn baby
– Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and street drugs

Cancer Prevention and Control
Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells in
the body grow out of control. Cancers are named
after the part of the body where the abnormal cell growth
begins. Breast cancers are cancer cells from the breast. When
breast cancer cells spread to other parts of the body, they are
called metastases.
Nutrition and cancer are related.
Good nutrition can help keep us
healthy and cancer free.
Cancer types can be grouped into broader categories.
The main categories of cancer include:
Carcinoma - cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues
that line or cover internal organs.
Sarcoma - cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat,
muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive
tissue.
Leukemia - cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such
as the bone marrow and causes large numbers of
abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood.
Lymphoma and myeloma - cancers that begin in the cells
of the immune system.
Central nervous system cancers - cancers that begin in
the tissues of the brain and spinal cord.
Prevention
Cancer can be caused by a variety of
different factors and may develop over a
number of years. Some risk factors can
be controlled. Choosing the right health
behaviors and preventing exposure to
certain environmental risk factors can
help prevent the development of cancer.
For this reason, it is important to follow
national trends data to monitor the
reduction of these risk factors.
Behavioral Factors
Scientists estimate that as many
as 50–75 percent of cancer
deaths in the United States are
caused by human behaviors
such as smoking, physical
inactivity, and poor dietary
choices.
Environmental Factors
Certain chemicals, biological agents,
toxins, etc. are associated with cancer
development. In this section, national
trends data associated with
environmental exposures and their
relationship to cancer are reported.
A. Secondhand Smoke
B. Chemical Exposures

Sun Protection
The number of new cases of melanoma skin
cancer has increased between 1975 and 2004,
with an estimated number of 60,000 new cases
in 2007.
Tanning Beds/Fake Bakes?
A new analysis of about 20 studies concludes the risk
of skin cancer jumps by 75% when people start using
tanning beds before age 30. Experts also found that all
types of ultraviolet radiation caused worrying
mutations in mice, proof the radiation is carcinogenic.
Previously, only one type of ultraviolet radiation was
thought to be lethal.

Physical Activity
Obesity and physical inactivity cause
about 25–30 percent of several of the
major cancers in the U.S., including
colon, breast, endometrial, kidney, and
esophageal cancers. Obesity is
estimated to cause 14 percent of cancer
deaths in men and 20 percent of cancer
deaths in women.
Diabetes
What is diabetes?
There are two main types of
diabetes mellitus.
Diabetes mellitus type 1
Diabetes mellitus type 2
Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus type 1 (sometimes called
‘juvenile onset diabetes’ or ‘insulin-dependent
diabetes mellitus (IDDM)) usually starts in
childhood or early adult life, most commonly
before teenage years. It is due to damage to bcells in the pancreas, so that they do not make
the hormone insulin.
Diabetes
With type 1 diabetes, teenagers have no insulin, so they
need:
• to get insulin by injection at least once, usually several
times each day
• to be careful about what they eat, how much they
exercise, drinking alcohol and using tobacco and drugs
• to be in control of their diabetes
• to understand that people with diabetes are able to do
pretty much everything that other people are able to do.
Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus type 2 (also called ‘mature
onset diabetes’ or non-insulin-dependent
diabetes mellitus) usually starts later in life,
usually when the person is over 40 years old.
However, it is occurring more often now in
much younger people, especially people who
are very overweight. Although people with
type 2 diabetes usually make some insulin, it
is not enough, or it does not work well.
Diabetes
Some things that a teenager will have to manage more
strictly than other young people include:
• meal times (missing meals can lead to problems)
• sleep-ins (you may have to wake up early to eat, or
have your insulin)
• alcohol (using it can make things complicated)
• exercise (you may need to carry extra food)
• choosing not to smoke and avoiding being around
others who smoke (it makes some of the negative
effects of diabetes worse).
