Adolescents with concussion exhibited significantly higher low-energy availability scores compared to controls, indicating increased risk.
The concussion group reported mean LEAF-Q scores of 9.1, while control scores averaged 6.0, showing a strong statistical difference.
Cross-sectional study involved adolescents aged 13 to 18 years, utilizing the Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire for assessments.
The lack of correlation between low-energy availability and concussion symptom severity suggests symptom management may need further exploration.
