TL;DR
It is found that supplement use, exercise dependence, and self-esteem, but none of the anthropometric measures, correlated with DM, and can be used to develop interventions to decrease DM.
Abstract
Drive for muscularity (DM) is associated with anabolic steroid and supplement use, exercise dependence, eating pathology, and low self-esteem. However, only one study has examined how anthropometric measures are related to DM. To extend previous research, and to clarify the relationship between DM and anthropometric indices, 113 college-aged men completed self-report surveys and were assessed for body fat percentage, fat-free mass, and body mass index. We found that supplement use, exercise dependence, and self-esteem, but none of the anthropometric measures, correlated with DM. These results enhance our understanding of DM and can be used to develop interventions to decrease DM.

A slightly more complex rule-of thumb is introduced that estimates minimum sample size as function of effect size as well as the number of predictors and it is argued that researchers should use methods to determine sample size that incorporate effect size.
