Boldface indicates statistical significance at p < 0.05. Differences between groups determined using independent samples t-tests. AAS = Anabolic-androgenic steroids

Scores range from 0 to 4, where 0 = very satisfied, 1 = somewhat satisfied, 2 = neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, 3 = somewhat dissatisfied, 4 = very dissatisfied. A higher score indicates greater body dissatisfaction.
