Q & A about female bodybuilding / Re: Does bodybuilding cause premature aging?
« Last post by Iron Wolf on Today at 03:36:50 am »Bodybuilding does not cause premature aging. That has no basis in biomedical science. Stress, disease, smoking, and too much alcohol consumption can result in premature aging.
You're right. Bodybuilding itself doesn't cause premature aging. The use of steroids, particularly corticosteroids, can have various effects on the body, including the skin. Prolonged use of steroids can lead to thinning of the skin, making it more prone to bruising and tearing. It can also cause stretch marks, acne, and increased hair growth. Additionally, steroids can impair the skin's ability to heal and can increase the risk of skin infections. As for aging, while steroids themselves don't directly cause aging, some of the aforementioned skin issues can contribute to an aged appearance.
