amenorrhea
eating disorder
osteoporosis

  3. low bone mass
    - low
18
Q

why does female athlete triad cause low bone mass

A
  • low estrogen levels– cause less bone Ca retention
  • decrease bone density
  • increase risk of stunting and osteoporosis
19
Q

why are cigarettes a risk

A

nicotine and carbon monoxide enter baby bloodstream

carbon monooxide– reduce baby blood supply by 40%

nicotine-
narrow blood vessels in placenta
