Association between acculturation, muscle dysmorphia symptomatology, and anabolic-androgenic steroid use ideation in Filipino American male university students: A pilot study
Background/Objective
Filipino American (FilAms) males are prone to experiencing body dissatisfaction due to sociocultural factors, but little is known about the attitudes towards muscularity and anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) use in this population. This pilot study investigated the relationship between acculturation, muscle dysmorphia (MD) symptomatology, and AAS ideation, and measured the MD symptom severity level of Filipino American university students from a single institution.
Methods
A sample of 210 FilAm male university students from a single institution were recruited to complete an online survey. MD severity and acculturation were measured using validated scales (Muscle Dysmorphic Disorder Inventory and A Short Acculturation Scale for Filipino Americans). Participants were also asked about AAS use ideation and history.
Results
The findings showed that drive for size and functional impairment were negatively associated with language use and preference, while appearance intolerance was positively associated with language use and preference. 39.0 % of the sample reported having considered using AAS. Functional impairment and ethnic social relations were strongly associated with AAS use ideation.
Conclusion
The high MDDI and reported AAS ideation could provide insight into developing specifically tailored interventions for FilAm males.
