A new report has revealed that young Australians are being left behind in medical research, creating gaps that could affect their health for decades to come. 

Despite chronic diseases increasingly appearing in younger populations, most health studies focus on older adults, meaning treatments and policies often don't reflect what young people actually need. 

Today, we're unpacking why this research gap exists, what it means for young Australians, and the initiatives trying to fix it.
