Hip strength (HS) analysis is measures of proximal femur strength in axial<br />
compression or bending. Fat mass (FM) and lean body mass (LBM) are positively<br />
related to bone mass in young athletes with eumenorrhea. However, the relation in<br />
ones with menstrual dysfunction is less known.<br />
PurPOsE: To determine effects of body composition (BC) on bone health in athletes<br />
with menstrual dysfunction.<br />
METhOds: Thirty-one athletes with MD (20.1±1.9 yrs) were selected by a<br />
questionnaire from 134 collegiate female athletes. They did not take any menstrual<br />
regulators during the past a year. Blood samples were collected during day-3 to<br />
day-5 of menses to assess sex hormones of luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating<br />
hormone, and estradiol. BC and bone mineral density (BMD) of hip, femoral neck,<br />
and Ward’s triangle were assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. BC variables<br />
included LBM, FM in whole body (FMWB), wasit (FMW), and hip (FMh) and body<br />
fat percentage in the same parts (BF%WB, BF%w, and BF%h). HS variables of crosssectional<br />
area (CSA), cross-sectional moment of inertia (CSMI), hip axis length, and<br />
femur strength index (FSI) were assessed by the HS analysis program. All subjects<br />
were divided into normal (Nor) and high body fat (H) groups by BF% ≤25%. Pearson’s<br />
correlations and independent t-tests were used to analyze all continuous variables.<br />
rEsuLTs: Between the Nor and the H groups, there were significant differences in<br />
BMI, BF%WB, BF%W, BF%h, and FMWB (12.5±1.7 vs. 20.1±5.8 kg, p
