Female Athlete Triad Considerations

Meaning

Female Athlete Triad Considerations encompass the comprehensive clinical assessment and management strategies for the syndrome characterized by the interrelation of low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, and low bone mineral density in physically active females. This triad is a spectrum of pathology, not merely a categorical diagnosis, demanding a nuanced, multidisciplinary approach to treatment. Proper clinical consideration requires evaluating the underlying nutritional, psychological, and endocrinological factors contributing to the physiological compromise. The long-term goal is the restoration of eumenorrhea and bone health.
