The most salient findings of this study are the decreased associations between smoking and network influences from ages 19 to 23 which may reflect reduced susceptibility to peer group pressure resulting from increased autonomy and more stable personal traits in
early adulthood compared to late adolescence [29].
On the contrary, men who were underweight in childhood had a higher risk of asthma admission in
early adulthood compared to men with normal BMI, with the strongest link seen with the BMI measurements taken at the age of 12.

Also of note is the finding that the best performing young footballers who will go on to play the sport professionally display superior dribbling skills, endurance capacity and tactical awareness
compared to their peers, from as
early as 14 years of age.9 17 These differences appear well before it is possible to accumulate 10 000 h of practice, but allow predictions of which players will go on to achieve best performances in
adulthood, suggesting that the effectiveness of and response to training, rather than simply training, determines success.
Adolescence is a critical period for the development of depression with prevalence rates rising sharply from childhood to
early adulthood.1 Many adult depressive disorders have their first onset in adolescence2 with longer episode duration being the strongest predictor of future problems.3 In addition to increasing the risk of later mental health problems, adolescent depression is associated with significant educational and social impairment and is a major risk factor for suicide.1 Providing effective
early interventions to shorten the duration of episodes and potentially reduce the impact on later life is therefore important.3 This study explores this question and
compares the effects of...
Victims have been shown to experience more post-traumatic stress and dissociation symptoms than non-abused children, 8 as well as more depression and conduct problems.9 They engage more often in at - risk sexual behaviours.10 Victims are also more prone to abusing substances, 11 and to suicide attempts.12 These mental health problems are likely to continue into
adulthood.13 CSA victims are also more at risk than non-CSA youth to experience violence in their
early romantic relationships; 14 women exposed to CSA have a two to three-fold risk of being sexually revictimized in
adulthood compared with women without a history of CSA exposure.15
SEVERAL FINDINGS suggest that juvenile - and adult - onset major depressive disorder (MDD) have distinct origins.1 First, although a significant proportion of depressed children become depressed adults, 2,3 most individuals who experience depression in
adulthood were not depressed as children.4 Second, juvenile - onset MDD is associated with increased risk for MDD among the first - degree relatives of depressed probands in clinical and community samples.4 - 8 Third, the children of depressed parents are at high risk for juvenile - onset MDD
compared with the children of nondepressed parents, and this association is explained by
early parental age at onset of MDD.9
We performed a series of meta - analyses
comparing each trajectory group to low aggression or control groups for 8 different outcomes in
early adulthood or later.
