Adolescence is a complex time for girls and boys: the passage to young adulthood is characterized by changes in the social, emotional, and educational environment. Adolescence is the ideal time to encourage the development of independent self-care behaviors and to make the growing girl aware of her health, thus promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors. During adulthood, diet and exercise are of utmost importance to manage some of the common complications that can emerge with aging. All clinicians involved in the multidisciplinary team must consider that transition is more than hormone replacement therapy: transition in a modern Healthcare Provider is a proactive process, shared between pediatric and adult endocrinologists.
