A member asked:
Can low body fat halt my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: In a 1987 study published in "sports medicine, " researchers debunked the theory that maintenance of body fat percentage of 17 to 22 percent were necessary to maintain normal menstrual function. This same study and others published since then have been unsuccessful in finding a specific cut off point but recognize that low body fat contributes to amenorrhea -- the absence of menstruation.
