Energy drinks are becoming increasingly popular among adolescents despite potential adverse health effects. This study addresses the research question: "Is there an association between the frequency of energy drink consumption and insufficient sleep by sex?"
This study aimed to assess the frequency of energy drink consumption by sex among Korean adolescents aged 12 to 18 years and investigate its relationship with insufficient sleep.
We analyzed secondary data using data from the 18th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey (2022). The study included 36 361 middle- and high school students. Complex sample logistic regression analysis examined the relationship between energy drink consumption and insufficient sleep by sex.
Among the respondents, 9.0% of male and 9.2% of female students reported consuming energy drinks frequently. In complex sample logistic regression analyses, those who reported consuming frequent energy drinks had significantly higher odds of insufficient sleep than the no-consumption group, controlling for potential confounding variables (adjusted odds ratio (OR) 2.15, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.76-2.61 in male students; adjusted OR 3.25, 95% CI 2.39-4.41 in female students). Notably, female students who frequently consume energy drinks pose a substantial concern regarding insufficient sleep.
Frequent energy drink consumption was associated with insufficient sleep time in both male and female adolescents. This highlights the need for public health policy interventions to reduce energy drink consumption and promote appropriate amounts of sleep among adolescents.
尽管能量饮料可能对健康有不良影响，但在青少年中越来越受欢迎。本研究探讨了研究问题：“能量饮料消费频率与按性别划分的睡眠不足之间是否存在关联？”
本研究旨在评估12至18岁韩国青少年按性别划分的能量饮料消费频率，并调查其与睡眠不足的关系。
我们使用第18次韩国青少年风险行为调查（2022年）的数据进行二次数据分析。该研究包括36361名中学生和高中生。复杂样本逻辑回归分析检验了能量饮料消费与按性别划分的睡眠不足之间的关系。
在受访者中，9.0%的男学生和9.2%的女学生报告经常饮用能量饮料。在复杂样本逻辑回归分析中，在控制潜在混杂变量的情况下，报告经常饮用能量饮料的学生睡眠不足的几率显著高于不饮用组（男学生调整后的优势比（OR）为2.15，95%置信区间（CI）为1.76 - 2.61；女学生调整后的OR为3.25，95%CI为2.39 - 4.41）。值得注意的是，经常饮用能量饮料的女学生睡眠不足问题令人担忧。
青少年中，无论男女，经常饮用能量饮料都与睡眠时间不足有关。这凸显了公共卫生政策干预的必要性，以减少能量饮料消费并促进青少年获得适量睡眠。
