Abstract

Objectives: To analyse the consumption of energy drinks (EDs) and the motives for their consumption among physically active adolescents in Poland.

Methods: A nationwide survey study was conducted in 1,530 adolescents (10-14 years old) participating in extracurricular, organised sports activities. A computer-assisted web interview method was applied.

Results: Nearly half (46.4%) of the respondents were ED consumers (significantly more boys than girls: 53.0% vs. 47.0%, p = 0.010). The percentage of ED consumers increased with age, from 27.2% in 10-year-olds to 65.4% in the group of 14-year-olds (p < 0.001). The motives and circumstances of ED consumption varied depending on gender: girls were more likely than boys to drink EDs to improve concentration during studying (17.1% vs. 8.8%, p < 0.001) and to stay awake (22.8% vs. 13.8%, p = 0.002), whereas boys more often than girls reported drinking EDs during physical activity (10.9% vs. 6.0%, p = 0.020).

Conclusion: It is necessary to implement gender-diversified educational campaigns on negative health effects of EDs, targeting children, parents and teachers, as consumption of EDs has been identified as a significant public health problem in Poland.

波兰青少年中的能量饮料消费：与性别和年龄相关的公共健康问题。

目的分析波兰参加体育活动的青少年饮用能量饮料（ED）的情况及其动机：在全国范围内对 1530 名参加课外有组织体育活动的青少年（10-14 岁）进行了调查研究。采用计算机辅助网络访谈法：结果：近一半（46.4%）的受访者是 ED 消费者（男孩明显多于女孩：53.0% 对 47.0%，p = 0.010）。ED 消费者的比例随着年龄的增长而增加，从 10 岁组的 27.2% 增加到 14 岁组的 65.4%（p < 0.001）。服用 ED 的动机和情况因性别而异：女孩比男孩更有可能在学习时为了提高注意力（17.1% 对 8.8%，p < 0.001）和保持清醒而服用 ED（22.8% 对 13.8%，p = 0.002），而男孩比女孩更经常在体育活动时服用 ED（10.9% 对 6.0%，p = 0.020）：有必要针对儿童、家长和教师开展有关 ED 对健康的负面影响的性别多元化教育活动，因为在波兰，ED 的消费已被确定为一个重大的公共健康问题。
