Anabolic androgenic steroid use and risk of diabetes mellitus in males
In this population-based cohort study, AAS use was not associated with an increased risk of DM. These findings provide observational data that may contribute to the understanding of the potential metabolic effects of AAS exposure during long-term follow-up. However, confounding from lifestyle factors such as exercise and diet, as well as body mass index, cannot be excluded.
