Background/Objectives: Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a condition characterized by painful pelvic cramps onsetting shortly before menses and lasting for 3 days, negatively impacting the quality of life young females. Further, menstrual cycle disorders are common in athletes. This study investigated differences dietary habits, hormonal immuno-metabolic parameters, susceptibility to disordered eating attitudes (DEAs) between dysmenorrheic (D group) non-dysmenorrheic (no-D female basketball players. It also aimed identify risk factors PD, focusing on nutrition, anthropometric biochemical markers. Materials Methods: The included 25 players (mean age: 16 years), categorized into D no-D groups. Blood samples were analyzed hormonal, metabolic, inflammatory markers, including follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing total testosterone, androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, estradiol, sex hormone-binding globulin, cortisol, prolactin, fasting glucose, insulin, C-reactive protein, lipid profile, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. Dietary intake was assessed via three-day food record, DEA evaluated using Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26). Logistic regression identified independent PD factors. Results: group had significantly higher EAT-26 scores prolactin cortisol levels than (p = 0.0284, p 0.0108, 0.0035, respectively). Elevated associated with increased (OR 1.75; OR 1.02; 1.14). Conclusions: Female show greater susceptibility. These may contribute risk, warranting further research.
