Abstract

The purpose of this systematic review and Meta-Analysis was to study consumption of Anabolic Steroids Prevalence and awareness of their side effects among male body builders in Iran. 31 studies were eligible for entry into the study by using Anabolic Steroids, ergogenic drugs and Bodybuilder keywords from Persian and Latin databases. Data analysis was performed using Meta-Analysis (random effects model). The heterogeneity between studies was assessed by using I2 test. It was found that the total Prevalence of Anabolic Steroid consumption in Iranian Bodybuilders was 32. 9% (95% confidence interval 17 to 48%), and the Prevalence of four drug classes consumption’ including Testosterone, Nandrolone, Oxymethanol and Dianabol were found as 29, 24, 19 and 15% respectively. Moreover, 74% of the athletes introduced their coaches and/or friends as the most influential persons to encourage the for using sports supplements. Only 34% of athletes have awareness about Anabolic Steroids side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to increase both athletes and their coaches’ information in connection with Anabolic Steroids side effects to diminish consumption Prevalence.
