The following section covers issues relevant to different stages of adulthood. There are many different stages in adulthood and some topics will be relevant to all stages and others just to part of adulthood, for example, adjusting from being teenagers to young adults’ means that young adults have needs in some areas that are not relevant in later adulthood. There are around 457,700 people aged between 16 and 64 in Devon. This section aims to bring as many topics together as possible and if necessary identify the part of adulthood where they are particularly relevant. There is a specific focus on prevention, the risk factors most strongly associated with poor health outcomes, and long-term conditions.
