We assessed the relationship between energy drinks, fried food, and high-sugar food consumption.
Secondary analyses including Mann-Whitney U, Cohen's d and effect sizes were used to examine 7-day intakes of energy drinks, fried foods, and high-sugar foods among teenagers (N = 1570) who participated in the 2014 FLASHE Study.
Energy drink consumption during the past 7 days was reported by 14.4% (N = 226) of participants. Those who reported consumption of energy drinks in the past 7 days were more likely to eat various fried and high-sugar foods than those who did not report past 7-day energy drink consumption. These foods include candy (p < .001), cake (p = .011), desserts (p < .001), sugary cereal (p < .001), fried potatoes (p < .001), fried chicken (p < .001), and chips (p < .001).
Energy drink consumption among adolescents may be linked to other high-risk nutrition intake behaviors, specifically increased consumption of fried and high-sugar foods. This study adds to the growing number of recent studies highlighting the multiple behavioral risks associated with early energy drink use. Health promotion and nutrition education efforts should focus on delaying early consumption of energy drinks among adolescents.
我们评估了能量饮料、油炸食品和高糖食品消费之间的关系。
采用包括曼-惠特尼U检验、科恩d值和效应量在内的二次分析方法，对参与2014年FLASHE研究的青少年（N = 1570）的能量饮料、油炸食品和高糖食品7天摄入量进行了研究。
14.4%（N = 226）的参与者报告在过去7天内饮用过能量饮料。与未报告过去7天饮用能量饮料的人相比，报告在过去7天内饮用过能量饮料的人更有可能食用各种油炸食品和高糖食品。这些食品包括糖果（p < .001）、蛋糕（p = .011）、甜点（p < .001）、含糖谷类食品（p < .001）、炸土豆（p < .001）、炸鸡（p < .001）和薯片（p < .001）。
青少年饮用能量饮料可能与其他高风险营养摄入行为有关，特别是油炸食品和高糖食品消费的增加。这项研究进一步增加了近期越来越多的研究，这些研究强调了早期饮用能量饮料相关的多种行为风险。健康促进和营养教育工作应侧重于推迟青少年早期饮用能量饮料的时间。
