Abbreviations: IGF-1 = insulin- like growth factor; fT3 = triiodothyronine; TES = testosterone; n/a = not available or missing data; BMD = bone mineral density; z-score = age-matched reference value for BMD, reference values: Z < −2, clinically low; Z ≤ −1, trend for low; Z > 1, normal [29]; EDE-Q = Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire [18]. Bold data indicate risk factors associated with RED-S in AB subjects [2].
