Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise Jul 12, 2018
Tenforde AS, et al. - Researchers sought to understand the influence of sports participation and Triad on bone mineral density (BMD). For this analysis, 239 female athletes taking part in 16 collegiate sports completed dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans to measure BMD Z-scores of the lumbar spine (LS) and total body (TB). It was observed that both sport type and Triad risk factors influence BMD. According to the findings obtained, athletes in low-impact and non-impact sports and athletes with low body mass index (BMI) and oligomenorrhea/amenorrhea were at highest risk for reduced BMD.
