First Paragraph: A young adult is generally a person in the years following adolescence.

Health:

As young adults transition into adulthood, engagement in risky behavior is more noticeable, which may result in health risks such as "unintended injury, unprotected sex, violence, binge drinking, motor vehicle incidents, suicide, and poor diet and nutrition." In developed countries, mortality rates for the 18–40 age group are typically very low. Men are more likely to die at this age than women, particularly in the 18–25 group: reasons include car accidents and suicide. Mortality statistics among men and women level off during the late twenties and thirties, due in part to good health and less risk-taking behavior.

Time Co-Coordinates:

Due to changes among generations, the pathway for young adults to fulfill their adult responsibilites has became less predictable. With growing changes in college education costs, living arrangements, and work and education oppurtunities, young adults are experiencing various life transitions in many stages of adulthood.
