Normalization of bone density in a previously amenorrheic runner with osteoporosis
Article Abstract:
The changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) are examined in relation to pharmacological and nutritional interventions in a distance runner diagnosed with the female athlete triad of disordered eating, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis. The results illustrate that even if skeletal development is interrupted in adolescence there is still the potential for 'catch-up' in BMD well into the third decade of life.

The bone mineral density (BMD) in women with the female athlete triad who were positively related to the duration of their menstrual disturbance by using three different absorptiometers. The study suggests with an increase of energy intake and weight gain, there was a gradual increase of BMD at the total proximal femur, which started at the age of 33 yr, after 22 year of energy restricting behavior.
