Adolescent health across Asia Pacific, 2000–23: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023

The Asia Pacific region is home to more than half of the world's 1·93 billion adolescents (aged 10-24 years). Addressing adolescent health in this region is of global importance, but to date a systematic analysis of key contributors to disease in adolescents has not been done, which is a barrier to responsive action.
