Abstract

BACKGROUND

A pilot study conducted in academic 2017/18 among undergraduates of the University of Sarajevo showed energy drinks to be most frequently consumed during academic activity, less frequently mixed with alcohol in leisure, and rarely in the sports activity. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on energy drinks consumption among undergraduates of the same University, with a focus on their consumption during exams.

STUDY DESIGN

A cross-sectional study was conducted by an online questionnaire.

METHODS

The questionnaire, mainly based on the Consortium Nomisma-Areté questionnaire, was customized to compare energy drinks consumption before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and distributed among students between July 26th, 2020 and April 3rd, 2021.

RESULTS

Out of 1,045 students who chose to participate in the study (participation rate of 14.7%), 653 students, mostly women, attending the lower study years, reported energy drinks consumption. Both be-fore and during pandemic, overall energy drinks consumption was most frequently reported as rare [281 (43.9%) before, 326 (51.2%) during the pandemic], and exams-related energy drinks consumption as once or twice a week [156 (43.8%) before, 130 (42.1%) during pandemic]. The pandemic increased the number of frequent consumers (consumption of 4-5 energy drinks per week) in both overall [35 (5.5%) before, 46 (7.2%) during pandemic] and exams-related energy drinks consumption [42 (11.8%) before, 48 (15.5%) during pandemic]. Study year (OR=0.842; 95% CI 0.77-0.921; p<0.001), being single and living alone [OR=0.512; 95% CI 0.296-0.883; p=0.016), or living with a partner and children [OR=0.377; 95% CI 0.168-0.847; p=0.018) were identified as negative independent predictors for exams-related energy drinks consumption, while being a regular smoker (OR=0.429; 95% CI 0.223-0.875; p=0.011) appeared its new negative independent predictor during pandemic.

CONCLUSIONS

The pandemic seemed to decrease both the overall and exam-related energy drinks consumption among undergraduates of the University of Sarajevo with the exception of a portion of already frequent energy drinks consumers.

摘要

背景

2017/18 学年，萨拉热窝大学对本科生进行了一项试点研究，结果显示，在学习期间，学生最常饮用能量饮料，在休闲时间较少与酒精混合饮用，在运动期间则很少饮用。本研究旨在评估 COVID-19 大流行对同一所大学本科生能量饮料消费的影响，重点关注考试期间的消费情况。

研究设计

采用横断面研究，通过在线问卷进行。

方法

问卷主要基于 Consorzio Nomisma-Areté 问卷制定，用于比较 COVID-19 大流行前后能量饮料的消费情况，并于 2020 年 7 月 26 日至 2021 年 4 月 3 日期间分发给学生。

结果

在选择参加研究的 1045 名学生中（参与率为 14.7%），653 名学生，主要是女学生，上低年级，报告了能量饮料的消费情况。在大流行前后，整体能量饮料消费最常报告为偶尔饮用[281 人（43.9%）在大流行前，326 人（51.2%）在大流行期间]，与考试相关的能量饮料消费为每周一到两次[156 人（43.8%）在大流行前，130 人（42.1%）在大流行期间]。大流行增加了整体和与考试相关的能量饮料消费中频繁消费者的数量[每周饮用 4-5 能量饮料的人数] [35 人（5.5%）在大流行前，46 人（7.2%）在大流行期间]和[每周饮用 4-5 能量饮料的人数] [42 人（11.8%）在大流行前，48 人（15.5%）在大流行期间]。研究年份（OR=0.842；95%CI 0.77-0.921；p<0.001）、单身独居（OR=0.512；95%CI 0.296-0.883；p=0.016）或与伴侣和孩子一起生活（OR=0.377；95%CI 0.168-0.847；p=0.018）被确定为与考试相关的能量饮料消费的负独立预测因素，而经常吸烟（OR=0.429；95%CI 0.223-0.875；p=0.011）在大流行期间似乎成为了新的负独立预测因素。
