Watch Out 20 Somethings...

It seems doctors are finding that the "invincible" teenager stage has extended into this generations 20's. More and more 20 something's are living a lifestyle which could have serious health consequences later.

A third of 18-29 year olds are cigarette smokers.
A quarter are obese. 

(this rate has tripled in the last three decades)
2/3 of young adults do not have regular physical leisure time.
45% of women between the ages of 20-24 have HPV.
One-third do not have health insurance.

Currently this age group tends to be 'healthy' but are taking it for granted.
For example diabetes and heart disease are occurring at much earlier ages along with serious illnesses. Doctor's tend to believe that as this generation ages the outcomes of our actions are going to be serious.
