Description
A study of 5,000 Australian teenagers has found that almost one in two of those surveyed live with chronic diseases or developmental conditions. The research observed a link to unhealthy habits and poor mental health. But independent experts are emphasising that the study was observational, and that it's important these factors are not interpreted as the cause but rather elements that can exacerbate such conditions.
