Women with high scores for dietary restraint have been found to have higher 24-h urinary cortisol excretion and a higher prevalence of subclinical ovulatory disturbances, both of which may be risk factors for bone loss. The purpose of this study was to explore relationships between dietary restraint and bone health in regularly menstruating young women.
