A systematic search of the Medline and PsycINFO databases was conducted, from 1997-2012, descriptors were ``muscle dysmorphic disorder'' ``vigorexia'' and ``male''. 17 studies met the inclusion criteria, of these, the diagnostic criteria proposed by Pope et al. (1997) were used by all. Those with MD are concerned about body size, lift weights 3-7 days a week, performed protein diets, sometimes they uses food supplements and steroids.
