Young generation is a boat for carrying and distributing the knowledge of science, health, and everything: How might they grow up?

Abstract

The young generation is a driving force for family, society, nation, and the world. Bangladesh has a young population with ~34% that are aged 15 and younger.Globally, about 25 percent of the world is under 15 years of age, and the total world population estimated by the United Nations has exceeded eight billion in mid-November 2022.These huge numbers of the young generation must grow up properly. UNCTrust organized two events (“Health Camp” and “Science Fair” in May 2022) in the villages of RamshilUnion under Kotalipara, Gopalganj, Bangladesh.It was remarkable that everyone, mainly the young generation, participated and completed their work according to the instructions,nicely. Two hundred fifty-three people (166 females and 87 males) got their treatment, from ages 2 to 90 years old, under the UNCTrust Health Camp program. There were four groups based on their ages: I. Pediatric Group, PG (> 0 to 14 years); II. Young Group, YG (15 to 47 years); III. Middle Age Group, MAG (48 to 63 years); and IV. Elderly Group, EG (≥64 years) people. The major health problems of the participants in this program are asthma, blood pressure, and heart problems.The Pediatric Group was mainly suffering from asthma, in PG, 20% females but 64% males; YG, 57% females and 54% males; MAG, 50% females and 67% males; and EG, 14.81% females and 67% males are suffering due to asthma.Including all groups, the males are suffering more than the females with asthma.Specially, the males of the pediatric and elderly groups are suffering significantly more than the females of the same age group with this disease. But the females are suffering more than males with blood pressure.The elderly group (EG; specially females) has a significantly higher percentage (11%) of diabetic patients compared to the other age groups.
