The IOC made recommendations for recording and reporting epidemiological data on injuries and illness in sports in 2020, but with little, if any, focus on female athletes. Therefore, the aims of this supplement to the IOC consensus statement are to (i) propose a taxonomy for categorisation of female athlete health problems across the lifespan; (ii) make recommendations for data capture to inform consistent recording and reporting of symptoms, injuries, illnesses and other health outcomes in sports injury epidemiology and (iii) make recommendations for specifications when applying the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology-Sport Injury and Illness Surveillance (STROBE-SIIS) to female athlete health data.In May 2021, five researchers and clinicians with expertise in sports medicine, epidemiology and female athlete health convened to form a consensus working group, which identified key themes. Twenty additional experts were invited and an iterative process involving all authors was then used to extend the IOC consensus statement, to include issues which affect female athletes.Ten domains of female health for categorising health problems according to biological, life stage or environmental factors that affect females in sport were identified: menstrual and gynaecological health; preconception and assisted reproduction; pregnancy; postpartum; menopause; breast health; pelvic floor health; breast feeding, parenting and caregiving; mental health and sport environments.This paper extends the IOC consensus statement to include 10 domains of female health, which may affect female athletes across the lifespan, from adolescence through young adulthood, to mid-age and older age. Our recommendations for data capture relating to female athlete population characteristics, and injuries, illnesses and other health consequences, will improve the quality of epidemiological studies, to inform better injury and illness prevention strategies.
国际奥委会 (IOC) 曾在 2020 年就伤病的流行病学数据记录和报告提出建议，但几乎没有（如果有的话）关注女运动员。因此，本补充共识的目的是：(i) 提出一个生命周期内女运动员健康问题分类的分类法；(ii) 就症状、伤害、疾病和其他运动损伤流行病学中的健康结果提出数据采集建议，以促进一致记录和报告；(iii) 就应用流行病学-运动损伤和疾病监测中的加强观察性研究报告规范（STROBE-SIIS）女运动员健康数据提出规范建议。2021 年 5 月，五位具有运动医学、流行病学和女运动员健康专业知识的研究人员和临床医生组成共识工作组，确定了关键主题。随后邀请了另外 20 名专家，通过所有作者的迭代过程，对国际奥委会共识声明进行了扩展，纳入了影响女运动员的问题。根据影响运动女性的生物学、生命阶段或环境因素，确定了 10 个女健康领域，用于对健康问题进行分类：月经和妇科健康；受孕前和辅助生殖；妊娠；产后；更年期；乳房健康；盆底健康；母乳喂养、育儿和照护；心理健康和运动环境。本文将国际奥委会共识声明扩展到包括 10 个女健康领域，这些领域可能会影响女运动员的整个生命周期，从青春期到青年期、中年期和老年期。我们关于女运动员人群特征以及伤害、疾病和其他健康后果的数据采集建议，将提高流行病学研究的质量，从而为更好的伤害和疾病预防策略提供信息。
