Notes/Important Information: Rapid demographic, epidemiological, and nutritional
transitions have brought a pressing need to track progress in adolescent health. Here, we
present country-level estimates of 12 headline indicators from the Lancet Commission on
adolescent health and wellbeing, from 1990 to 2016.

QUESTION 1: What are the personal, environmental, and socio-economic burdens or

factors that affect the adolescent health progress?

QUESTION 2: What is the percentage of child marriage and what are its effects to the
adolescent health progress?

QUESTION 3: How does the nutritional transition change over time in different
countries?
