The researchers surveyed dancers in four professional Ballet companies and found that nearly a Quarter of them had curvature of the spine what doctors Call scoliosis. They believe that the problem May Stem in part from disruptions in the Young women s menstrual cycles. Girls who exercise strenuously or diet May go through puberty at a later age than usual. The same factors can also cause them to Stop menstruating for months at a time after puberty begins. When menstruation stops or fails to Start the body produces abnormally Low Levels of the hormone oestrogen. Experts believe this Lack of oestrogen plays 0 role in the dancers scoliosis and fractures. Heredity probably also contributes to curvature of the spine. The study conducted by or. Michelle p. Warren and colleagues from St. Luke a Roosevelt Hospital in new York was published in the new England journal of Medicine. Curvature of the spine occurs in about 2 percent of All adolescents. The latest research was conducted on 75 female dancers who ranged in age from 18 to 36. Although All the dancers had undergone menarche the first menstrual period of adolescence it had been delayed an average of two years. However those with scoliosis had a significant increase in delayed menarche Over those without the spinal problem. The dancers with scoliosis also had a slightly higher prevalence of secondary amenorrhoea or absence of menstrual cycles after puberty begins. The researchers found that 61 percent of the dancers had suffered broken Bones and the fractures became More common with increasing age of menarche. Most of the Breaks were stress fractures of the Bones in the feet.
