目的：调查一组大学生能量饮料的消费频率和相关因素。方法：在 Hacettepe 大学（土耳其安卡拉）进行了一项横断面研究，纳入了 439 名从事医学、体育和艺术职业的学生。只接触了四年级的学生。采用自填式标准问卷收集数据。结果：在双变量分析中，与同龄人相比，艺术和体育专业的学生以及不经常吃早餐、曾经吸烟、饮用酒精饮料和经常参加运动的学生能量饮料消费频率较高。许多“曾经”尝试过能量饮料的学生第一次尝试是因为他们想知道它的味道。在能量饮料的经常使用者中，选择的三组学生使用此类饮料的原因各不相同，包括获取能量、保持清醒、在运动时提高表现或与酒精饮料混合。目前所有能量饮料使用者中约有 40% 表示他们将能量饮料与酒精饮料混合在一起。在多变量分析中，在控制性别的情况下，能量饮料消费的统计显着预测因素是教师类型、是否有健康保险、酒精饮料的使用和月收入。大多数学生无法正确定义能量饮料的成分或其潜在危害。当要求他们从各种饮料的商品名称列表中进行选择时，他们无法区分能量饮料和运动饮料。结论：尽管选择能量饮料的原因各不相同，但消费能量饮料在大学生中相当普遍。应提高大学生对能量饮料（特别是与酒精饮料混合）的成分和潜在健康危害的认识。 (C) 2011 年，爱思唯尔公司出版。
Objective: To investigate the frequency of energy-drink consumption and associated factors in a group of college students.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Hacettepe University (Ankara, Turkey) and included 439 students pursuing a career in medicine, sports, and arts. Only fourth-year students were approached. Data were collected using a self-administered standard questionnaire.Results: In bivariate analyses, frequency of energy-drink consumption was higher in students of arts and sports and in those who did not have breakfast on a regular basis, ever smoked cigarettes, drank alcoholic beverages, and regularly engaged in sports compared with their counterparts. Many students who had "ever" tried an energy drink did so the first time because they wondered about its taste. Of regular users of energy drinks, reasons for using such drinks varied across the three selected groups of students and included obtaining getting energy, staying awake, boosting performance while doing sports, or mixing with alcoholic beverages. About 40% of all current users of energy drinks reported that they mixed those with alcoholic beverages. In multivariate analyses, statistically significant predictors of energy-drink consumption were faculty type, presence of any health insurance, use of alcoholic beverages, and monthly income, controlling for gender. Most students could not correctly define the ingredients of energy drinks or their potential hazardous'. health effects, and they could not distinguish energy and sports drinks when they were requested to select them from a list of commercial names of various drinks.Conclusion: Consumption of energy drinks, despite the variation in the reason for choosing such drinks, is quite common in college students. Awareness of university students of the ingredients and potential health hazards of energy drinks, in particular in mixing with alcoholic beverages, should be increased.
