Associations in intentions to use anabolic-androgenic steroids among non-consuming boys and men with probable eating disorders and muscle dysmorphia
The findings from this study add to a growing literature underscoring similar muscularity-oriented features across anorexia nervosa/atypical anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and muscle dysmorphia. Assessment of intentions to use AAS may be warranted among boys and men with eating disorders and muscle dysmorphia to ensure the provision of prevention and early-intervention strategies.
