这项纵向研究调查了大学生中能量饮料使用的普遍性和相关性，并调查了它与随后的药物使用（包括非医疗处方药使用）的可能的前瞻性联系。参与者是来自一所大型公立大学的1060名本科生，他们从大学一年级开始就完成了三次年度面试。评估了能量饮料、其他含咖啡因产品、烟草、酒精和其他非法药物和处方药的使用情况，以及人口统计学和人格特征。在大学二年级和三年级，能量饮料使用的年加权患病率分别为22.6%和36.5%。与不饮用能量饮料的人相比，饮用能量饮料的人有更重的酒精消费模式，并且更有可能同时使用其他药物，在之前的评估中也是如此。回归分析显示，二年级能量饮料的使用与三年级非医疗处方兴奋剂和处方止痛药的使用显著相关，但与其他三年级药物使用无关，保持恒定的人口统计、既往药物使用和其他因素。大量且快速增长的大学生饮用能量饮料。与不喝能量饮料的人相比，喝能量饮料的人更容易酗酒和吸毒，寻求刺激的程度也更高。从长远来看，能量饮料的使用与处方兴奋剂和止痛药的非医疗使用有着独特的关系。需要对年轻人饮用能量饮料的健康风险进行更多的研究，包括它们在物质使用问题发展中的可能作用。
This longitudinal study examined the prevalence and correlates of energy drink use among college students, and investigated its possible prospective associations with subsequent drug use, including nonmedical prescription drug use. Participants were 1,060 undergraduates from a large, public university who completed three annual interviews, beginning in their first year of college. Use of energy drinks, other caffeinated products, tobacco, alcohol, and other illicit and prescription drugs were assessed, as well as demographic and personality characteristics. Annual weighted prevalence of energy drink use was 22.6%wt and 36.5%wt in the second and third year of college, respectively. Compared to energy drink non-users, energy drink users had heavier alcohol consumption patterns, and were more likely to have used other drugs, both concurrently and in the preceding assessment. Regression analyses revealed that Year 2 energy drink use was significantly associated with Year 3 nonmedical use of prescription stimulants and prescription analgesics, but not with other Year 3 drug use, holding constant demographics, prior drug use, and other factors. A substantial and rapidly-growing proportion of college students use energy drinks. Energy drink users tend to have greater involvement in alcohol and other drug use and higher levels of sensation-seeking, relative to non-users of energy drinks. Prospectively, energy drink use has a unique relationship with nonmedical use of prescription stimulants and analgesics. More research is needed regarding the health risks associated with energy drink use in young adults, including their possible role in the development of substance use problems.
