Predicted scores of the PHQ-9. For those without LEA (controls), the predicted PHQ-9 score was 4.6 (3.4-5.8) with normal eating behaviour and 7.7 (6.2-9.2) with DE/ED. For those with LEA and normal eating behaviour, the predicted score was 4.4 (2.4-6.4) compared with 7.5 (5.5-9.4) with concurrent DE/ED. Whiskers represent 95% CI. DE/ED, disordered eating/ eating disorder; LEA, low energy availability; PHQ-9, Patient Health Questionnaire-9.

Objective This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the role of low energy availability (LEA) in the interplay between depression and disordered eating/eating disorders (DE/EDs) among female athletes. The International Olympic Committee consensus statement on Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) identified depression as both an outcome...
