Summary

This study looks at women with hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), a condition where periods stop for months or years due to stress, exercise, or weight loss. Researchers want to see if HA is linked to early signs of heart disease. About 90 women will wear FitBits and answer surveys to track stress, activity, and sleep. The goal is to understand which HA patterns are tied to heart and blood vessel problems.
