- Abstract
The article discusses a study that evaluates the impact of single or combined risk factors as defined by the female athlete triad with the incidence of bone stress injuries (BSI) in a multicenter prospective sample of four cohorts of physically active girls and women. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used. It is reported that 28 participants incurred a BSI. A table is shown that outlines baseline descriptive attributes among participants in overall sample and according to injury status.
