The purpose of this study was to evaluate knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning energy drink consumption and the prevalence of side effects among medical students. Twenty-two percent of respondents were regular users, particularly men (p < .0005). Users were younger (p = .027) and drank alcohol more frequently (p = .008) than "non-users." Forty-nine percent consumed alcohol associated with energy drinks. Forty-five percent of medical students declared side effects after energy drink consumption, such as palpitations (35%), insomnia (21%), and irritability (20%). The study confirms a large use of energy drinks among students and the occurrence of side effects. The use of energy drinks may influence the ingestion of large amounts of alcohol.
本研究的目的是评估医学生对能量饮料消费的知识、态度和行为以及副作用的发生率。22%的受访者是经常饮用者,尤其是男性(p <.0005)。饮用者比“非饮用者”更年轻(p =.027),饮酒频率更高(p =.008)。49%的人将能量饮料与酒精一起饮用。45%的医学生称饮用能量饮料后出现副作用,如心悸(35%)、失眠(21%)和易怒(20%)。该研究证实学生中大量饮用能量饮料以及副作用的发生。能量饮料的饮用可能会影响大量酒精的摄入。
