Question

the femal athlete triad is characterized by
a disordered eating, amenorrhea, and low bmd.
b anorexia nervosa, increased estrogen production, and low bmd.
c bulemia nervosa, amenorrhea, and increased calcium resorption.
d binge eating disorder, amenorrhea, and increased calcium resorption.

Explanation:

The Female Athlete Triad consists of three inter - related components: disordered eating (which can include a range of abnormal eating behaviors), amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), and low bone mineral density (BMD). Increased estrogen production is not part of it (ruling out B), and the specific eating disorder is more about disordered eating in general rather than just bulimia or binge - eating disorder, and increased calcium resorption is not a defining feature (ruling out C and D).

Answer:

A. disordered eating, amenorrhea, and low BMD.
