With the worldwide consumption of energy drinks increasing in recent years, concerns have been raised both in the scientific community and among the general public about the health effects of these products. Recent studies provide data on consumption patterns in Europe; however, more research is needed to determine the potential for adverse health effects related to the increasing consumption of energy drinks, particularly among young people. A review of the literature was conducted to identify published articles that examined the health risks, consequences, and policies related to energy drink consumption. The health risks associated with energy drink consumption are primarily related to their caffeine content, but more research is needed that evaluates the long-term effects of consuming common energy drink ingredients. The evidence indicating adverse health effects due to the consumption of energy drinks with alcohol is growing. The risks of heavy consumption of energy drinks among young people have largely gone unaddressed and are poised to become a significant public health problem in the future.
近年来，随着全球能量饮料消费的增加，科学界和公众都对这些产品的健康影响表示担忧。最近的研究提供了欧洲消费模式的数据；然而，需要更多的研究来确定与能量饮料消费增加相关的潜在不良健康影响，特别是在年轻人中。本文回顾了文献，以确定已发表的文章，这些文章研究了与能量饮料消费相关的健康风险、后果和政策。与能量饮料消费相关的健康风险主要与咖啡因含量有关，但需要更多的研究来评估摄入常见能量饮料成分的长期影响。由于摄入含酒精的能量饮料而导致不良健康影响的证据正在增加。年轻人大量饮用能量饮料的风险在很大程度上尚未得到解决，并且有可能成为未来的一个重大公共卫生问题。
