The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of the Triad in elite athletes representing leanness sports, non-leanness sports and non athletic controls. Results: A high prevalence of athletes was diagnosed with present prevalence of two of the components of the Triad. Therefore it is important to focus on the continuum, and not only on the "end point" of the Triad. These results confirm the need for primary and secondary prevention, especially aimed at athletes representing leanness sports.
