Article Synopsis
- Previous research linked anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) use to negative childhood and adolescent psychosocial aspects like body image issues and low parental care, but often overlooked causal connections.
- This study re-analyzed data from male weightlifters (ages 18-40) using advanced machine-learning techniques to better understand factors leading to AAS use.
- The analysis found that adolescent body image concerns, especially muscle dysmorphia, alongside rebellious behaviors and low paternal care, were significant predictors for AAS use, suggesting a more complex causal relationship than earlier studies proposed.*
