Coffee and tea are some of the most popular beverages in the world. Herbal infusions are also growing in popularity. Much attention is being paid to the effects of these beverages on the body and human health.
The aim of the study was to analyse the consumption of coffee, tea and herbal infusions in terms of selected socioeconomic and lifestyle factors, as well as the frequency of beverages consumption in the study group.
The study involved 508 adult respondents, including 404 females and 104 males aged over 18 years. An online survey questionnaire was used, consisting of questions on socioeconomic data, lifestyle, height and weight, and frequency of consumption of coffee, tea and herbal infusions. Statistical analysis of the results was performed using Statistica 13.3 software, and statistical significance was assumed at the p≤0.05 level.
The beverages most often consumed by the adults was tea (90.2% of the respondents), followed by coffee (81.5%), the least frequently chosen beverage was herbal infusion (48%). The largest percentage of adults consuming coffee were: persons aged 18-29 (p=0.012), with higher education (p=0.010), living in cities over 500,000 inhabitants (p=0.048) or having permanent employment (p<0.001). In the case of tea consumption, significantly the largest percentage of adults concerned: women (p<0.001), persons with low physical activity (p=0.003) or good/very good self-dietary assessment (p<0.001). Significantly the largest percentage of adults consuming herbal infusions were: women (p<0.001), persons aged 18-29 (p=0.031) or with higher education (p<0.001). Gender was not a factor differentiating the frequency of consumption of the analyzed beverages in study group.
The consumption of coffee, tea and herbal infusions is determined by several socio-demographic factors. Coffee was chosen more often by young people with an active professional life in large cities, which is probably related to the availability of this beverage in offices as well as in takeaway cafes.
咖啡和茶是世界上最受欢迎的饮料之一。草药茶的受欢迎程度也在不断提高。人们越来越关注这些饮料对人体和人类健康的影响。
本研究旨在分析咖啡、茶和草药茶的消费情况，包括一些社会经济和生活方式因素，以及研究组中饮料的消费频率。
该研究涉及 508 名成年受访者，其中包括 404 名女性和 104 名年龄在 18 岁以上的男性。使用在线问卷调查表，其中包括社会经济数据、生活方式、身高和体重以及咖啡、茶和草药茶消费频率的问题。使用 Statistica 13.3 软件对结果进行统计分析，假设统计显著性水平为 p≤0.05。
成年人最常饮用的饮料是茶（90.2%的受访者），其次是咖啡（81.5%），选择最少的饮料是草药茶（48%）。喝咖啡的成年人比例最大的是：18-29 岁的人（p=0.012）、接受过高等教育的人（p=0.010）、居住在人口超过 50 万的城市的人（p=0.048）或有固定工作的人（p<0.001）。在喝茶方面，女性（p<0.001）、低体力活动（p=0.003）或良好/非常好的自我饮食评估（p<0.001）的成年人比例明显最大。饮用草药茶的成年人比例最大的是：女性（p<0.001）、18-29 岁的人（p=0.031）或接受过高等教育的人（p<0.001）。性别不是研究组中分析饮料消费频率的因素。
咖啡、茶和草药茶的消费受到几个社会人口因素的影响。年轻人在大城市中积极的职业生涯中更倾向于选择咖啡，这可能与办公室以及外卖咖啡馆提供这种饮料有关。
