Towards a Healthy Adulthood:
Scientific evidence has over the years, shown that non-communicable diseases (diseases not transmittable from person to person) often follow a life course. They mostly occur in adulthood following prior exposure to certain modifiable risk factors in earlier phases of life. However, premature occurrence of these diseases is now a common feature in societies as younger people expose themselves more and more to a number of predisposing lifestyle practices. The "Towards a Healthy Adulthood" project is an initiative aimed at creating a platform for adolescents and young people like me to learn the various risk factors capable of making them develop features of NCDs in the near future. At the same time, this project will provide an opportunity for the participants to acquire lifestyle modification skills for sustainable health. The starting point shall be on our campus, from where I hope to extend the coverage to communities around here and others.
