Index Of Mpg Teens



The Honda Civic has been one of the best-selling small cars in the United States for years, with a winning combination of price, features, safety, reliability and resale value. It is no surprise that it is also one of the best used cars for teens. The sedan was an IIHS Top Safety Pick every year from 2009 to 2017. The Civic also has fantastic fuel economy, with an EPA estimated average of 31 combined city/highway mpg. It also has the second-lowest average price of the cars on our list and tends to hold its value well for resale.

"@context":" ","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":["@type":"Question","name":"Why is car insurance for a teenager so expensive?","acceptedAnswer":"@type":"Answer","text":"Teenagers have less experience on the road, which can translate to higher crash rates. The Centers for Disease Control reports that teen drivers have a higher incidence of crashes than any other age group. Because car insurance companies know teens are more likely to get into accidents, they generally charge higher rates to compensate for the increased risk of paying a claim.","@type":"Question","name":"How do I know if a car is safe for my teenager?","acceptedAnswer":"@type":"Answer","text":"The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration produce safety ratings on the most popular vehicles. Both organizations maintain a database of auto ratings on their websites, which include older model vehicles, so that you can look for the safest and best cars for teenagers. Having your teen test drive various vehicles can also be a good idea to get a sense of what type of vehicle your teen feels most comfortable with. Some new drivers prefer smaller vehicles, while others may feel more comfortable being a little higher up in a larger vehicle.","@type":"Question","name":"Are teenagers restricted from driving at night?","acceptedAnswer":"@type":"Answer","text":"Most states have teenage driving restrictions. Each state sets its nighttime driving restrictions. For example, Nevada restricts teen driving between the hours of 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Vermont is the only state that does not impose nighttime driving restrictions on teens.","@type":"Question","name":"Do states restrict the number of teen passengers in a vehicle driven by a teenager?","acceptedAnswer":"@type":"Answer","text":"Most states restrict the number of teenage passengers in a car driven by another teenager. For example, a teen driver in Texas cannot have more than one passenger under 21. Florida, Iowa, Mississippi and North Dakota are the only states without restrictions."]


Meaning Findings of this study indicate that consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and regularity of bedtimes appeared to be associated with higher body mass index among children with greater video game use early in life, but this association was small and did not seem clinically meaningful.


Importance Childhood obesity is one of the biggest public health threats facing the UK, and video game use is considered a risk behavior for obesity among children. However, few studies have explored the prospective association between video game use and body mass index (BMI) or the potential mediators of this association.


Pill abuse is common among teens. Thus, there is not a formula for pill overdose the way that there is for alcohol overdose. Several factors are involved: the contents and size of each pill, the physical makeup of the user, as well as any other substances or medications the user may be taking at the time. That said, a teen could potentially experience overdose after taking just a single pill of a certain kind.


Alcohol is the most widely abused substance among teens. Although any use of alcohol by underage drinkers is abuse, research indicates that teenagers binge drink more than legal drinkers. Adolescents ingest an average of five alcoholic beverages per drinking session.


A recent Monitoring the Future National Results on Adolescent Drug Use showed that the most commonly abused prescription drugs are as follows: amphetamines (including study aid drugs like Adderall), painkillers (particularly opioids like Vicodin and OxyContin, which cause at least half of all drug overdose deaths), cough medicine, sedatives and finally, tranquilizers. This list is not exhaustive; teens abuse many more prescription drugs.


The same Monitoring the Future study indicated the following as the most commonly abused illicit drugs by teens: marijuana, synthetic marijuana, hallucinogens and ecstasy. (Salvia abuse was also shown to be a regarding adolescents.) Again, there are many additional illicit drugs that are commonly abused by teenagers.


A one-year randomized trial also did not find intermittent fasting (16:8 method) more beneficial than calorie reduction without a restricted eating time. [7] Patients with obesity were placed on the same moderate calorie restriction but randomized to one of two groups: time-restricted eating (allowed to eat from 8am-4pm), or allowed to eat any time. Weight, waist circumference, body mass index, body fat, and blood work were measured. At one year, the time-restricted group lost an average of 18 pounds and the time-unrestricted group lost 14 pounds; blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose levels also decreased. However, the changes in weight and other parameters were not significantly different among the groups.


The dramatic increase in adolescent obesity has been labeled an epidemic, a surge, and a crisis (Hofman, 2013). Regardless of the label, healthcare professionals are beginning to recognize obesity among teens as an emergency. The very serious health issues that come with obesity are well recognized. Among these are high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, diabetes and pre-diabetes, fatty liver disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and many psychosocial difficulties.


Although the rate of adolescent obesity is dramatically increasing, the use of surgery for weight loss among adolescents is still not common (Mann, 2014). Between 2000 and 2003, bariatric surgery for weight loss in adolescents increased more than threefold, but still was seen rarely in that population. A report from the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine in March of 2007 showed teens to be less than 1% of the total weight loss surgery patients (Tsai, et al., 2007).


Another study published that year (Woolford, et al., 2010) reported 50% of primary care physicians would not recommend bariatric surgery for patients under the age of 18. The difficulty among these physicians had to do with whether risks outweighed benefits of this kind of surgery. Increasing popularity of weight loss surgery makes it more likely that primary care physicians will have to discuss this option with families of obese teens.


Weight loss surgery should be a last resort according to a panel of pediatric experts (Nobili, et al., 2015). With the dramatic increase in adolescent obesity has come a dramatic increase in significant physical illnesses related to obesity.Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes among them. This panel of experts suggested rather strict guidelines for the use of bariatric procedures with adolescents. One group of adolescent patients for which this panel said bariatric surgery should be limited are those with body mass indexes of 35 or higher who also have severe NAFLD or other related illnesses. Another group would be those adolescents with a body mass index of 40 or higher and mild medical conditions.


The great emphasis placed on physical appearance among teens comes into play here. At a time when young men are valued for their athletic prowess and popularity is based on physical appearance, the obese teen is often socially isolated. During this time, young women are valued for their slender, but well-developed bodies. The obese female adolescent may find herself the butt of degrading jokes.


Adolescent obesity has a psychological impact greater than obesity in children (Wardle & Cooke, 2005). A body mass index greater than 40 is known to be a risk factor for poor psychological health (Onyike, et al., 2003). And most weight loss surgeries for adolescents requires a body mass index of 40, according to the latest guidelines. Thus, this adolescent population is more at risk for major psychological difficulties.


A study conducted in the three largest childhood obesity centers in Sweden found significant levels of depression, anxiety, anger and lower self-concept among their subjects (Jarvholm, et al., 2012). These subjects had an average body mass index of 46.5 at the beginning of the study. Once again, there appears to be significantly more psychological distress among adolescents who are obese.


Obese teens often perceive others as making more negative than positive remarks about them than do their normal weight peers. They also find it harder to involve themselves in their peer group and they tend to abuse alcohol more frequently (Fonseca, et al., 2009).


The American Academy of Pediatrics in 2004 released guidelines for adolescent bariatric surgery (Cleveland Clinic, 2014). These guidelines included the teen having failed six months or more of some organized weight loss effort. Also, the teen must have attained or nearly attained physiologic maturity. This requirement would take effect typically at age 13 for girls or 15 for boys. And, be severely obese as determined by a body mass index of 40 or greater.


There are studies that suggest there are positive psychological effects of bariatric surgery with adolescents. Zeller and her associates (2009) studied changes in health-related quality of life and depression in a group of obese teens. They found continued improvement in health-related quality of life and depression over the first year following bariatric surgery. These results are more impressive when considered in light of the large majority of teens were still obese one year following the procedure. The fact that there was change in weight may be the important factor in the positive changes in quality of life and depression. Seeing that weight loss is possible may have engendered a sense of competency and success in these individuals.
