Abstract

This scoping review explores the relationship between Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDS) in adolescents. The project examines whether low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, hormonal disruption (e.g., estrogen, leptin), and reduced bone mineral density may contribute to scoliosis development or progression.
