Female athlete triad : ウィキペディア英語版 | Female athlete triad Female athlete triad is a syndrome in which eating disorders (or ''low energy availability''), amenorrhoea/''oligomenorrhoea'', and ''decreased bone mineral density'' (osteoporosis and osteopenia) are present. Also known simply as the Triad, this condition is seen in females participating in sports that emphasize leanness or low body weight.〔Torstveit et al. 2005. ‘The Female Athlete Triad: Are Elite Athletes at Increased Risk?’ Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. vol. 37, no. 2. p. 184-93.〕 The triad is a serious illness with lifelong health consequences and can potentially be fatal. ==Classification== The female athlete triad is a syndrome of three interrelated conditions. Thus, if an athlete is suffering from one element of the Triad, it is likely that they are suffering from the other two components of the triad as well.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.femaleathletetriad.org/for-athletes-coaches/what-is-the-triad/ )〕 With the increase in female participation in sports, much of it attributable to Title IX legislation in the United States, the incidence of a triad of disorders particular to women — the female athlete triad—has also increased. Due to this increasing prevalence, the female athlete triad and its relationship with athletics was identified in the 1980s as the symptoms, risk factors, causes and treatments were studied in depth and their relatedness evaluated. The condition is most common in cross country running, gymnastics, and figure skating. Many of those who suffer from the triad are involved in some sort of athletics, in order to promote weight loss and leanness. The competitive sports that promote this physical leanness may result in disordered eating, and be responsible for the origin of the Female Athlete Triad. For some women, not balancing the needs of their bodies and their sports can have major consequences.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kidshealth.org/teen/food_fitness/sports/triad.html )〕 In addition, for some competitive female athletes, problems such as low self-esteem, a tendency toward perfectionism, and family stress place them at risk for disordered eating.〔
