Objective: To investigate the reasons, implications and patterns of anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) use in 40 non-athletic youths, in the city of São Paulo.

Results: Men and youths are the principal users of AAS, who utilize them at doses much higher than therapeutic doses and also combine various AAS (stacking). AAS are utilized during determined periods of time (cycles), starting with low doses which...
