After viewing fitspiration content, men are more likely to engage in excessive exercise and to take anabolic steroids with potential negative health outcomes.
“After viewing such content, men are more likely to engage in excessive exercise and to take anabolic steroids with potential negative health outcomes (Cafri et al., 2006; Horwitz et al., 2019; Mossman and Pacey, 2019; Tiggemann and Anderberg, 2020).”

The paper’s abstract links media-associated ideals of muscularity with body enhancement and anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse in men, and describes serious health consequences of steroid abuse. It does not say that viewing fitspiration content makes men more likely to exercise excessively or take steroids. The retrieved abstract has no page label; the copy lists the letter as appearing on pp. 231–232. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
