The former encompasses the
postadolescent years through full maturation (ranging from the ages of seventeen to twenty-seven for men, and late teens to early twenties for women), while the latter stage includes the years of maturity before the hormonal changes that cause menopause in women and andropause in men.

Grandhi and Alikhan performed a retrospective review of 400
postadolescent female acne patients treated with spironolactone, mostly in combination with a topical and/or oral acne medication.
In
postadolescent humans, hypertrophy is the predominant mode of body fat mass increase, as the adipocyte turnover rate remains nearly constant at ~ 10% per year throughout adulthood (Spalding et al.

Dr Alf Nicholson, consultant paediatrician at Temple Street, said in Ireland today there is a general trend for young girls, teenagers, and
postadolescent girls to take more alcohol and a lot more spirits than ever before.
In just one telecast, its 14yearold protagonist (played by Nash Aguas) was shown dealing with the first stirrings of
postadolescent sexuality, getting smitten by his lateteen tutor, and ending up having to take her home after a drinking bingewith potentially "horizontal" consequences.
