REDs (part 2) Flashcards
although any athlete or active person can suffer from REDs, who is particularly at risk
- female athletes
- those in weight-sensitive and leanness-demanding sports
- aesthetically judged sports
- sports in which low BW might provide a performance advantage
- sports with high exercise energy expenditure
what is IOC REDs three step protocol
- sceening
- severity and risk assessment and stratification
- clinical diagnosis and treatment
what are example of step 1 screening
population specific questionnaires or clinical interviews
who proceeds to step 2 from screening
individuals with greater than low risk
step 2 of REDs severity/risk assessment characteristics
- high sensitivity
- more expensive
- clear scoring allows for easy and reliable implementation
who proceeds to step 3 REDs clinical diagnosis and treatment
yellow, orange, or red
characteristics of step 3 REDs clinical diagnosis and treatment
- physician diagnosis based on info from steps 1 and 2 along with clinical history and examination
- individualized treatment plan implemented by the multi-disciplinary athlete health and performance team
characteristics of step 1 REDs screening
- lower sensitivity and specificity
- inexpensive and easy to use
- questionnaires allow for large athlete group screening
when can screening tools be undertaken
part of annual periodic health examination when athlete presents with symptoms
what symptoms will ahtlete present with to use a REDs screening
- disordered eating/eating disorders
- weight loss and/or fluctuations
- lack of normal growth and development
- endocrine dysfunction
- recurrent injuries and illnesses
- bone stress injury
- decreased performance/performance variability
- mood changes
what does REDs not always mean
huge loss in weight
sensitivity/specificity of the tests for REDs
ability to accurately distinguish between patients who have or do not have the condition
what does disordered eating not always equal
they have LEA but does increase your risk
what does the DSM-5 recognize as ED
- anorexia nervosa
- bulimia nervosa
- binge eating disorder
- other specified feeding and eating disorders
- avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID)
- other
what is the spectrum of eating behaviour that can change day to day or week to week
<-optimised nutrition - disorder eating- eating disorder->
eating disorder
behaviour that meets DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for a feeding and eating disorder
disordered eating
problematic eating behaviour that fails to meet the clinical diagnosis for an eating disorder
optimized nutrition
safe, supported, purposeful and individualized nutrition practices that best balance health and performance
diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa
a. restriction of energy intake relative to requirements
b. intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat or persistent behaviour that interferes with weight gain
c. disturbed by one’s body weight or shape, self worth influences by BW or shape, or persistent lack of recognition of seriousness of low BW
what does restriction of energy intake relative to requirements lead to
significant low BW in the context of the age, sex, developmental trajectory, and physical health
what is not required anymore for the diagnostic criteria in menstruating females
absence of at least 3 consecutive non-synthetically induced menstrual cycle
what is taste fatigue
- type of anorexia that happens with athletes
- if eating same thing over and over, don’t want to eat it
- very common phenomena and can lead to restricting energy but not does mean you have fear of weight
what is the diagnostic criteria of bulimia nervosa
recurrent episodes of binge eating
in bulimia nervosa what are the recurrent episodes of binge eating characterized by
- eating within any 2 hr period, an amount of food that is definitively larger than most individuals would eat in a similar period of time under similar circumstances
- a feeling that one cannot stop eating or control what or how much one is eating
what are the 4 other disagnostic criteria of bulimia nervosa
- recurrent innapropriate compensatory behaviours in order to prevent weight gain
- binge eating and innapropriate compensatory behaviours occur at least once a week for 3 months
- self evaluation in unjustifiably influenced by body shape and weight
- disturbance does not occur exclusively during episode of anorexia nervosa
what are examples of recurrent inappropriate compensatory behaviours in order to prevent weight gain
self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or other meds, fasting or excessive exercise
how many people have bulimia nervosa
~2-3% general population
