Abstract in brief

  • This study examines how the age at which men start using anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) and recent AAS use affect cognitive functions like impulsivity, aggression, attention, and decision-making.
  • Results indicate that adolescent users on cycle of AAS show greater impairments in inhibitory control and attention, with adolescent onset linked to higher impulsivity and sensitivity to AAS effects.
  • Findings suggest that acute AAS use may influence cognitive control and impulsivity, especially in those who begin steroid use during adolescence.]
