Article Synopsis
- Low energy availability (LEA) is a significant health concern, linked to serious risks like amenorrhea and osteoporosis, particularly noted among women in Saudi Arabia, where data on this issue are scarce.
- The study surveyed 119 female athletes in Saudi Arabia and found high prevalence rates of LEA (66.4%), eating disorders (33.6%), and exercise addiction (10.1%), indicating a troubling trend among normal-weight females.
- The researchers emphasize the need for increased awareness and educational programs about energy balance, healthy eating, and safe exercise practices to address these issues.
