“…Several factors are related to dietary supplement use such as demographic characteristics, body mass index, pubertal status sun exposure, as well as healthy food consumption with adequate minerals by fruits, vegetables, carbohydrates and proteins [10][11][12] . Previous studies have shown positive associations between physical activity, calcium intake and bone mass density in females 12,13 . However, fast-food and junk food consumption are inversely related to dietary supplement intake.…”

Introduction: Adolescence is a critical period of life especially in high school girls due to large physical, social, and psychological changes. Objectives:To assess prevalence and frequency of consumption of dietary supplements among Iranian high school girls and related factors. Method:A cross-sectional study was carried out on 638 high school girls in Qom city, Iran in 2017. The girls were selected by multi-stage sampling from 16 high schools. Data were collected using a validated reliable questionnaire that included demographic characteristics and the dietary supplement consumption including ferrous sulphate, folic acid, iron + folic acid, calcium, vitamin E, calcium + vitamin E, zinc, vitamin C, multivitamin and vitamin D. Statistical analysis used SPSS software, Chi square test, independent ttest and multivariate binary logistic regression. Results:Overall monthly prevalence of dietary supplement consumption was 65.3% (417/639). Consumption for calcium was 43.2%, for vitamin E _________________________________________

“…[ 18 ] However, previous studies are not in agreement. Bush [ 19 ] found a protective effect of running in BMD among girls, as well as Greene et al[ 16 ], which also showed a protective effect of track and field on BMD. On the other hand, Lucas et al[ 20 ] found no association between track and field and bone mass.…”

BackgroundOsteoporosis is considered a public health problem with high worldwide prevalence. One approach to prevention is through the promotion of physical activity, especially exercise, during adolescence.MethodsThis study compared bone variables in different body segments in adolescents according to participation in track and field. The study included 34 adolescents (22 boys), of whom 17 were track and field athletes and 17 were control subjects. Bone mineral density (BMD, g/cm2) and bone mineral content (BMC, g) were analyzed using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (total body stratified by body segments). Peak height velocity was used to estimate somatic maturation.ResultsAthletes had higher BMD (P=0.003) and BMC (P=0.011) values in the lower limbs and higher whole body BMD (P=0.025) than the control group. However, when adjusted for confounding factors, the difference was not maintained. The groups had similar lean soft tissue values (P=0.094). Training overload was positively correlated with BMD in the upper limbs (r=0.504; 95% confidence interval, 0.031-0.793). Although track and field athletes had higher BMD and BMC values in the lower limbs, these differences were not significant when adjusted for confounding factors.ConclusionsTrack and field participation in adolescence appears to influence BMD and BMC in lower limbs, and fat-free mass seems to mediate this effect. Also, higher training loads were found to be positive for bone health in upper limbs.

“…Menstrual disorders, including amenorrhea and oligomenorrhea, cause problems and pathological conditions that affect women's general health, such as infertility or reduced fertility, malignancies, cardiovascular disease, bone fractures, diabetes, hirsutism, and acne (43)(44)(45). Increased DHEA-S serum levels cause a deepening of the voice, acne, hirsutism, male pattern hair loss, a decreased breast size, and lower muscle mass (46).…”
