Abstract: | Background. Adolescence is a nutritionally sensitive phase
for growth, where the advantages of healthy nutrition extend to many other physiological systems. In the teenage
years, growth and development are transformative and
have major implications for an individual’s health during
later life as well as for the health of any prospective children.
Objective of the study. to assess and analyze the formative
role of nutrition in the timing and pattern of growth and
development in adolescence. Material and methods. The
research includes analysis of bibliographic sources identified in PubMed, NCBI, Research Gate, Medline, between the
period 2014-2024. Results. The present teen generation is
growing up in a period of unprecedented change in food environments, where the nutritional problems of micronutrient deficiency and food insecurity persist, and overweight
and obesity are on the increase. Iron deficiency in adolescents results in compromised growth, decreased cognitive
function and decreased immune function. The onset and
duration of puberty differ significantly between adolescents
living in environments with varying childhood nutrition.
Malnutrition in adolescents is multifactorial, in that if one
physiological system is impaired, the development of other
systems will also be compromised. Conclusion. Nutritional
factors play a vital role in the timing and pattern of puberty, with consequences for linear growth in adulthood, body
composition, fat mass accumulation, maturation of other
physiological systems, and risk of non-communicable diseases in adulthood. Nutritional effects in adolescent development extend beyond musculoskeletal growth to cardiorespiratory capacity, neurological development and immunity. |
