Purpose: In the present study the occurrence of eating disorders (EDs) and menstrual dysfunctions (MDs) was examined among physically inactive women (C) and elite female football players (FP). Methods: ED was investigated by EDI and SCOFF-test. MD was measured by questions on menstrual history. Results: Although there were a few participants in both groups who reached the cut-off scores in 'Drive for Thinness' and 'Body Dissatisfaction' subscales of EDI, there were no significant differences between the rates. None of the participants passed the critical limit in the 'Bulimia' subscale. There was no significant difference between the average scores of the first three subscales of EDI in the two groups. The next five subscales of EDI measure psychopathology commonly associated with, but not unique to, ED. We could observe significant difference only between the average score of 'Interpersonal Distrust' subscale. Depending on the SCOFF-test we could not observe any significant difference between the incidences of EDs in the groups. In the FP group the age of menarche was significantly older. Less FPs had oligomenorrhea, but there was no significant difference between the rates of secondary amenorrhea. The common incidence of EDs and MDs was the same in both groups. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the prevalence of EDs was similar in the investigated groups, only the feeling of 'Interpersonal Distrust' was stronger among female football players. Physically inactive women are more endangered by oligomenorrhea. There is no significant difference between the common incidences of EDs and MDs among the groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
