Abstract in brief

  • The use of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) has grown significantly over the decades, initially discovered in the 1930s and adopted by athletes for their muscle-building effects, becoming popular in sports from the 1950s to 1970s.
  • Widespread non-athlete AAS use began in the 1980s, predominantly among young to middle-aged men seeking improved appearance, with high usage in regions like Scandinavia, the US, Brazil, and the British Commonwealth, but less common in East Asian countries.
  • Cultural attitudes towards male muscularity influence the patterns of AAS abuse globally, with some societies embracing muscular ideals more than others.]
