Menstrual dysfunction is a common problem in competitive athletes. Exercise intensity, hypothalamic immaturity, and dietary practices are contributing factors. Although the specific mechanism is unknown, disruption of hypothalamic functioning appears to be involved. Women with menstrual dysfunction are at increased risk for bone mineral loss and musculoskeletal injury. Primary care physicians should routinely screen for these abnormalities and should be alert to the possibility of an eating disorder. Treatment options include a reduction in training intensity, improved nutrition and caloric intake, and hormone therapy to prevent bone loss and allow for safe continuation of training.

The present study explores how parents' personality clusters relate to their eating disordered daughters' personality and psychopathology. Mothers and fathers were tested with the Temperament Character Inventory. Their daughters were assessed with the following: Temperament and Character Inventory, Eating Disorder Inventory-2, Symptom Checklist-90, Parental Bonding Instrument, Attachment Style Questionnaire, and Family Assessment Device. Daughters' personality traits and psychopathology scores were compared between clusters. Daughters' features were related to those of their parents. Explosive/adventurous mothers were found to relate to their daughters' borderline personality profile and more severe interoceptive awareness. Mothers' immaturity was correlated to their daughters' higher character immaturity, inadequacy, and depressive feelings. Fathers who were explosive/methodic correlated with their daughters' character immaturity, severe eating, and general psychopathology. Fathers' character immaturity only marginally related to their daughters' specific features. Both parents' temperament clusters and mothers' character clusters related to patients' personality and eating psychopathology. The cluster approach to personality-related dynamics of families with an individual affected by an eating disorder expands the knowledge on the relationship between parents' characteristics and daughters' illness, suggesting complex and unique relationships correlating parents' personality traits to their daughters' disorder.
