The objective of the present study was to describe adolescents' habits and experiences with energy drink (ED) consumption and the relation to the amount of ED consumed. We used the national cross-sectional study Ungdata, conducted in 2015-16 in Norway. A total of 15 913 adolescents aged 13-19 years answered questions about ED consumption related to the following topics: reasons for, experiences with, habits and parental attitudes. The sample comprised only adolescents reporting to be ED consumers. We estimated the association between the responses and the average daily consumption of ED in multiple regression models. Those who consumed ED 'to concentrate' or 'to perform better in school' consumed on average 73⋅1 (CI 65⋅8, 80⋅3) and 112⋅0 (CI 102⋅7, 121⋅2) ml more daily, respectively, than those who did not consume ED for these reasons. Up to 80 % of the adolescents reported that 'my parents think it is OK that I drink energy drink', but at the same time almost 50 % reported that 'my parents say that I shouldn't drink energy drink'. Apart from increased endurance and feeling stronger, both desired and adverse effects of ED consumption were reported. Our findings indicate that the expectation created by the ED companies have great influence on the adolescents' consumption rate and that parental attitudes towards ED have little to no influence on the adolescents' consumption rate.
本研究的目的是描述青少年对能量饮料（ED）的消费习惯和体验，以及与ED 消费数量的关系。我们使用了挪威在 2015-16 年进行的全国性横断面研究 Ungdata。共有 15913 名 13-19 岁的青少年回答了与以下主题相关的 ED 消费问题：消费原因、消费体验、习惯和父母态度。该样本仅包括报告为 ED 消费者的青少年。我们在多元回归模型中估计了这些回答与 ED 平均日消耗量之间的关联。那些因“集中注意力”或“在学校表现更好”而消费 ED 的人，平均每天多消费 73.1（65.8-80.3）和 112.0（102.7-121.2）毫升，而那些没有因为这些原因消费 ED 的人。高达 80%的青少年报告说“我的父母认为我喝能量饮料没问题”，但同时近 50%的人报告说“我的父母说我不应该喝能量饮料”。除了增强耐力和感觉更强壮外，青少年还报告了 ED 消费的期望效果和不良反应。我们的研究结果表明，ED 公司创造的期望对青少年的消费率有很大影响，而父母对 ED 的态度对青少年的消费率几乎没有影响。
