What this Trial Is About
This research aims to understand the nutritional knowledge and dietary habits of athletic women and how these factors might affect their menstrual health. It focuses on women diagnosed with functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA) and those experiencing other menstrual irregularities like oligomenorrhea or polymenorrhea without organic causes. The study is observational and investigates the connection between nutrition and menstrual function in this specific group. Participants are athletic women aged 16 to 30 who engage in physical activity more than two days a week. The study collects data using validated questionnaires to assess nutritional knowledge, eating habits, and eating behaviors. It compares women with FHA to those with other menstrual dysfunctions to evaluate differences in nutrition and behavior. There are no interventions or treatments; the study observes existing conditions and habits at baseline. Participants will complete questionnaires that evaluate their nutritional knowledge and eating behaviors related to menstrual health. Researchers will analyze the data to understand any correlations between diet and menstrual irregularities. The primary outcome is the assessment of nutritional knowledge in women with FHA, while secondary outcomes include comparisons of eating habits and behaviors across different menstrual dysfunctions. The study is sponsored by Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo di Pavia and runs through January 2026.
