May warrant closer monitoring of slower triathletes; leaves open prospective prevention trials.
Observational
Exercise-associated hyponatremia occurs in a considerable percentage of long-distance triathletes, particularly in females with a racing time of 9 hours or more.
A 2016 study conducted an observational in Exercise-associated hyponatremia. Long-distance triathlon participation was evaluated on Incidence of hyponatremia. Long-distance triathlon participation resulted in a 10.6% incidence of hyponatremia and a 0.3% incidence of critical hyponatremia, with females racing ≥9 hours being most susceptible.
