Adolescence is the most crucial stage of human life, and puberty is its beginning. Adolescents duringpuberty go through several biological and socio-psychological changes. They encounter various healthhazards, risks, and, sometimes, suffer from many physical and mental upsets, disarrays, and problemsthat shape their health behaviors in the future. This paper focuses on the exploration of health behaviorsof high-school-going adolescents and how they adapt to changes occurred during adolescence. In orderto elicit their health status and health behaviors, a cross-sectional study comprised of a sample of 160high-school-going boys and girls aged from 12 to 16 years was conducted in four schools under fourunions of four districts in Bangladesh. Significant findings show that high-school-going adolescents gothrough a series of physical, mental, and emotional changes in adolescence. Many have the knowledgeand are aware of these changes and contemporaneous health problems, but some are not and get fears.While their health behaviors depend on how they perceive their health and whom they share with andreceive suggestions. In most cases, girls first inform their mother or sisters or grannies; boys inform theirfriends and peer groups but share a little to their parents and seniors in the family. In both cases, theytend to hide their problems and seldom seeks healthcare from qualified healers. This study concludes thatmeasures like health education and knowledge of puberty should exactly be provided to help them growup smoothly throughout their future life.

The Relationship

A comprehensive approach to the identification of the relationship between behaviors limiting nutrition mistakes, nutrition knowledge, and physical activity in the context of the family environment has not yet been widely explored. We aim to identify patterns of avoiding nutrition mistakes in high school students from Warsaw, Poland, and to assess their associations with nutrition knowledge (NK), physical activity (PA), body mass index (BMI), demographic, and family environment characteristics. A cross-sectional study involving 616 high school students, aged 16–19, was conducted. The data were collected by distributing questionnaires. The k-means method was used for cluster analysis, and logistic regression was used to assess the adherence to identified patterns. We identified three patterns: Prudent Ones (45%), Inconsequent (39%), and Rebels (16%). About 70% of adolescents had insufficient NK. The adherence to the Rebels pattern was lower by 85 % in girls, by 68% in students with younger siblings, and was about 4.0-times higher in children of mothers with primary education, 2.4 times higher in students with insufficient NK, and 1.9-times higher in students living in a family with more than 4 persons. The groups of adolescents with feature characteristics of the Rebels and Inconsequent are possible targets for intervention and require further in-depth research to explain their lack of attempts to avoid nutrition mistakes. The results clearly indicate the necessity of including metropolitan teenage boys in effective nutritional education for the rationalization of their dietary behavior.
