To determine the frequency and pattern of energy drink consumption among medical school students, their knowledge of its effects and side effects and to see its relation with alcohol and cigarette usage.
The descriptive analytical study was conducted at Marmara University Medical School, Istanbul, Turkey from October 2011 and January 2012. A semi-structured questionnaire was filled by students who were asked about their socio-demographic status and their energy drink consumption. SPSS 12 was used for statistical analysis.
The mean age of the 390 students in the study was 20.98+/-1.96 years (range:16-27). Of them, 204 (52.3%) were females and 186 (47.7%) were males. Overall 52(13.3%) were smoking regularly at least one cigarette per day; 122(31.3%) were consuming alcohol; 127 (32.6%) had consumed energy drinks at least once and 73(18.8%)more than once. In terms of perception, 110(28.2%) students said energy drinks were similar to sports drinks, while only 121(41.1%) named the brands correctly; 96 (24.6%) students did not answer this particular question.
Although consumption of energy drinks was common among medical students, the knowledge of ingredients and knowledge of health risks of energy drinks among them was unsatisfactory.
确定医学院学生饮用能量饮料的频率和模式、他们对其效果和副作用的了解情况，并观察其与饮酒和吸烟行为的关系。
2011年10月至2012年1月在土耳其伊斯坦布尔的马尔马拉大学医学院开展了描述性分析研究。由学生填写一份半结构化问卷，询问他们的社会人口统计学状况以及能量饮料饮用情况。使用SPSS 12进行统计分析。
该研究中390名学生的平均年龄为20.98±1.96岁（范围：16 - 27岁）。其中，204名（52.3%）为女性，186名（47.7%）为男性。总体而言，52人（13.3%）每天至少规律吸烟一支；122人（31.3%）饮酒；127人（32.6%）至少饮用过一次能量饮料，73人（18.8%）饮用过不止一次。在认知方面，110名（28.2%）学生表示能量饮料与运动饮料相似，而只有121名（41.1%）能正确说出品牌；96名（24.6%）学生未回答这个特定问题。
尽管医学院学生中饮用能量饮料的情况很常见，但他们对能量饮料成分以及健康风险的了解并不理想。
