“…In the present study, ED consumption was higher among students who were male, lived in broken families, consumed coffee and carbonated beverages, or had irregular sleep patterns. The present study revealed that being male was a prominent risk factor for ED consumption, similar to results of previous literature (4,26,27). In addition, misbeliefs about ED, that ED is not unhealthy, not have addictive effects, were found to be factors affecting the frequency of use.…”

“…A study conducted in the UK found that ED consumption had increased by 155% between 2006 and 2014 (25). Studies conducted in the United States, Norway, and Portugal determined that the frequency of ED consumption was between 33% and 56.7% (4,26,27). The Turkish Food Codex Communiqué on Energy Drinks recommends not allowing children to consume EDs (2).…”

“…The caffeine content of these drinks should not exceed 150 mg/L (2). Although this value varies according to which brands are available on the market, EDs contain amounts of caffeine in the range of 70-240 mg (3,4). Goren and Daglı (5) examined the amount of caffeine in 16 samples of three different brands of EDs on the market.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of energy drink consumption and its effects on perceived stress and sleep quality among high school students. Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study was conducted with 2806 students. The first part of specific survey investigated the sociodemographic characteristics and the energy drink consumption habits of students. The perceived stress scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were performed. Results: The mean age of students was calculated as 15.73 ± 1.16 years. It was revealed that prevalence of energy drink consumption was 70.8%. Male sex, being a member of divorced family, irregular sleep habits, and believing that energy drinks are unhealthy & addictive were found to be significant factors affecting the frequency of energy drink usage. The mean score of the students' Perceived Stress Scale was 28.95 ± 7.22 and the mean score of the PSQI was 6.56 ± 2.84. Perceived Stress Scale and PSQI scores of consumer students were higher than non-consumers. Conclusion: Energy drink consumption was found to be quite frequent in the study group. Consumption of energy drinks negatively affected the level of stress and sleep quality. Educational programs should be provided to students on the harmful effects of these beverages.

“…Energy drinks’ consumption is also associated with other commonly reported health problems such as sleep dissatisfaction, tiredness/fatigue, late bedtime, headaches, and stomachaches and irritation ( 35 , 56 – 59 ). It is likely that many of these general health complaints are attributable to caffeine or sugar content, but additional research needs to be conducted to confirm this, as well as to assess the potential effect of other constituents.…”

As energy drink consumption continues to grow worldwide and within the United States, it is important to critically examine the nutritional content and effects on population health of these beverages. This mini-review summarizes the current scientific evidence on health consequences from energy drink consumption, presents relevant public health challenges, and proposes recommendations to mitigate these issues. Emerging evidence has linked energy drink consumption with a number of negative health consequences such as risk-seeking behaviors, poor mental health, adverse cardiovascular effects, and metabolic, renal, or dental conditions. Despite the consistency in evidence, most studies are of cross-sectional design or focus almost exclusively on the effect of caffeine and sugar, failing to address potentially harmful effects of other ingredients. The negative health effects associated with energy drinks (ED) are compounded by a lack of regulatory oversight and aggressive marketing by the industry toward adolescents. Moreover, the rising trend of mixing ED with alcohol presents a new challenge that researchers and public health practitioners must address further. To curb this growing public health issue, policy makers should consider creating a separate regulatory category for ED, setting an evidence-based upper limit on caffeine, restricting sales of ED, and regulating existing ED marketing strategies, especially among children and adolescents.

Adolescents drinking energy drinks are at risk of a wide range of negative outcomes and should be specifically addressed by preventive interventions. What is Known • Energy drink consumption has become popular and frequent among adolescents across Europe. • There is growing evidence that energy drink consumption is related to negative social, emotional and health outcomes, but only a few studies have explored this relationship in adolescents. What is New • Regular energy drink consumption was more frequent among boys and adolescents reporting low family affluence and increased with age. • Adolescents reporting regular energy drink consumption were in higher risk to suffer from health and behavioural problems and negative school experiences.
