There is a well-established literature on the relationship between chronic health conditions in childhood and adolescence and the experience of negative health behaviors (eg, less consumption of fruits and vegetables), results p. Eg depressive symptoms, low self-esteem) and social outcomes (for example, being teased). Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have identified associations between childhood / adolescent asthma, diabetes or other chronic health conditions and overweight / obesity, depressive symptoms, and eating disorder friendships. However, it is less known whether these negative outcomes are associated with chronic health conditions with young adults, especially those with common disorders such as asthma or diabetes. Due to technological advances in pediatric medicine over the past 40 years, Morbidity and mortality are associated with decreased morbidity and mortality among young adults and adults with chronic disease. Thus, it is important to gain a more complete understanding of the life experience of young adults with chronic illnesses in order to inform prevention efforts and clinical care. Morbidity and mortality have been associated with decreased incidence of chronic disease and increased number of chronic diseases with young adults and adults.
