    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Adolescent Health
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Anabolic steroid use has a long history among athletes seeking performance enhancement, particularly in strength and size-focused sports.
    • Recent trends indicate a concerning expansion of anabolic steroid use beyond elite athletes to recreational individuals and, notably, adolescents.
    • The increasing prevalence of anabolic steroid use in younger populations necessitates a comprehensive understanding of its implications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the physiological effects and adverse side effects associated with anabolic steroid use.
    • To explore the underlying motivations and reasons driving adolescent anabolic steroid consumption.
    • To define the crucial role of physicians in identifying, screening, and preventing anabolic steroid use among adolescents.

    • Literature review synthesizing existing research on anabolic steroid pharmacology and epidemiology.
    • Analysis of physiological impacts and documented side effects from scientific studies.
    • Examination of psychosocial factors contributing to adolescent anabolic steroid misuse.

    Main Results:

    • Anabolic steroids exert significant physiological effects, accompanied by a range of potentially severe side effects.
    • Adolescents are increasingly using anabolic steroids for performance enhancement and aesthetic reasons.
    • Physicians play a vital role in early detection and intervention strategies for adolescent steroid users.

    Conclusions:

    • Adolescent anabolic steroid use presents a growing public health concern with significant health risks.
    • Understanding the multifaceted reasons for use is critical for effective prevention and intervention.
    • Proactive medical screening and counseling are essential to mitigate the harms of anabolic steroid misuse in young athletes.
