Global Healthcare & Fitness Summit

Scientific Tracks Abstracts: Health Care: Current Reviews
Abstract:
Health problems of female athletes are widely under recognized by physicians, coaches and family members. In this era
of growing athletic participation, we highlight the pathophysiology and epidemiology of the components of the female
athlete triad i.e. low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction and low bone mineral density. Barriers to timely diagnosis and
common misconceptions among physicians and other health care providers regarding the female athlete triad are explored in
an effort to devise a plan for improved screening and management of these athletes at risk.
