Do steroids take away a year of your life?

Answer 1

That sounds like an average somebody came up with on this sort of logic: Out of 100 people using steroids, 100 years of life are lost through premature death. For example, if 10 people died 5 years prematurely (total of 50 life years), and 10 died 3 years prematurely (30 life years), and 10 died 2 years prematurely (20 life years), while 70 did not die prematurely from steroids, that would be 100 years of life lost out of 100 people, or an average of 1 year per person. Whether it is accurate, I don't know; but that could be the kind of logic behind it.
