Background Limited research has evaluated risk factors for low bone mineral density (BMD) in male adolescent athletes.Aims/objectives To evaluate predictors of low BMD (defined as BMD Z-score 30 in the past year (OR= 6.4, 95% CI 1.5 to 27.1). The strongest two-variable and three-variable risk factors included weekly mileage > 30+ stress fracture history (OR= 17.3, 95% CI 1.6 to 185.6) and weekly mileage > 30+< 85% expected weight + stress fracture history (OR= 17.3, 95% CI 1.6 to 185.6), respectively. Risk factors were cumulative when predicting low BMD (including < 85% expected weight, weekly mileage > 30, stress fracture history and < 1 serving of calcium-rich food/ day): 0-1 risk factors (11.1%), 2 risk factors (42.9%), or 3-4 risk factors (80.0%), p< 0.001).Conclusions Male adolescent runners exhibited lower body weight, BMI and spine BMD Z-score values. The risk of low BMD displayed a graded relationship with increasing risk factors, highlighting the importance of using methods to optimise bone mass in this population.
