The document notes that the death rate among teenagers from all different types of causes is 47.2 per 100,000 people.

Road traffic injuries are the number one cause of death for boys under the age of 18, causing more deaths than HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and gastroenteritis combined. In Uzbekistan, the death rate of children aged 5 to 14 years due to road traffic accidents is four times higher than in European countries.

According to the document, the rate of death due to suicide and self-harm among 10-18-year-old teenagers in Uzbekistan is one of the highest among Central Asian countries. In 2016, boys and girls aged 15-19 made up the largest number of those who died due to suicide and self-harm.

In the age group of 10-19 years, about 74% of men who died as a result of suicide and self-inflicted injuries were boys aged 15-19 years, and among girls in the same age group (10-19 years old), about 80% of female deaths were due to suicide and self-injury.

Problems related to adolescent nutrition remain relevant. According to a 2017 nutrition survey, the prevalence of overweight among children and adolescents aged 5-19 years increased from 8.4% to 16.3% among boys, from 11% to 17% among girls, and obesity from 2% to 5% among boys and from 1% to 3% among girls.
