Energy drinks (EDs) are extremely popular among adults and adolescents. Regular intake of EDs may lead to an overdose of caffeine, loss of bone mass, overweight, hypertension and, in older age, osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases. Some people mix EDs with alcohol, which adversely affects their health. The objective of this study was to analyze the consumption of EDs by adolescents.
The study consisted of a questionnaire surveying amounts of drinks, preferences and product awareness among younger consumers. The study was carried out in junior and senior high schools in Poland (n = 2629).
EDs were consumed by 67% of students (quite frequently by 16%). Students who practiced sports were more willing to drink EDs. Also, boys drank them more often than girls. When selecting a particular ED, young people looked at the taste, price and effect. Most respondents consumed one ED (250 mL) daily, although there were individuals consuming two or more drinks daily. Most respondents knew the ingredients of EDs, and 24% admitted to mixing EDs with alcohol.
EDs are extremely popular among adolescents. Young people drinking EDs every day are potentially at risk of taking an overdose of caffeine.
能量饮料在成年人和青少年中极为流行。经常饮用能量饮料可能会导致咖啡因摄入过量、骨质流失、超重、高血压,以及在老年时引发骨质疏松和心血管疾病。有些人会将能量饮料与酒精混合饮用,这对他们的健康产生不利影响。本研究的目的是分析青少年对能量饮料的消费情况。
该研究包括一项针对年轻消费者的饮料饮用量、偏好和产品认知度的问卷调查。研究在波兰的初中和高中开展(n = 2629)。
67%的学生饮用能量饮料(其中16%饮用频率较高)。进行体育锻炼的学生更愿意饮用能量饮料。此外,男孩饮用能量饮料的频率高于女孩。在选择特定的能量饮料时,年轻人会考虑口味、价格和功效。大多数受访者每天饮用一罐能量饮料(250毫升),不过也有个体每天饮用两罐或更多。大多数受访者知道能量饮料的成分,24%的人承认会将能量饮料与酒精混合饮用。
能量饮料在青少年中极为流行。每天饮用能量饮料的年轻人有咖啡因摄入过量的潜在风险。
