Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The female athlete triad is a condition that affects some female athletes who engage in intense physical training and involves the three components of disordered eating, amenorrhea (absence of menstrual periods for at least three consecutive months), and osteoporosis or low bone mineral density. Victoria's lack of menstrual period and her history of stress fractures in her feet suggest that she may be experiencing the female athlete triad.
