Caffeine Use among Active Duty Navy and Marine Corps Personnel

Abstract: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) indicate 89% of Americans regularly consume caffeine, but these data do not include military personnel. This cross-sectional study examined caffeine use in Navy and Marine Corps personnel, including prevalence, amount of daily consumption, and factors associated with use. A random sample of Navy and Marine Corps personnel was contacted and asked to complete a detailed questionnaire describing their use of caffeine-containing substances, in… Show more

“…25 Consistent with previous reports, older soldiers, and those of higher rank were more likely to consume caffeine in the form of coffee. 22,26 Tobacco use was significantly associated with caffeine intake, an association reported previously for U.S. military personnel regardless of beverage source, and in multiple civilian surveys. 1 It should be noted that direct comparison of caffeine intake as assessed by the two datasets is not possible since they used somewhat different procedures.…”

“…A few soldiers reported intakes of over 2000 mg. Daily caffeine intake was higher than reported previously for U.S. military personnel who were largely drawn from non-deployed Army, Navy, and Marine units and did not address the impact of military assignment and combat on caffeine consumption. 22,26 In the current study, average caffeine intake from energy drinks represented 70% of total daily intake for soldiers in combat units assessed by the J-MHAT 8 survey and 55% of total caffeine intake among combat arms personnel participating in the USARIEM Deployment Survey. Over 60% of the combat arms soldiers (USARIEM Deployment Survey) or soldiers in combat maneuver units (J-MHAT 8 survey) reported consuming these drinks.…”

“…Surveys among U.S. students and young adults reported AMED consumption to vary from 8.1% to 64.7% of their cohorts (Berger, Fendrich, & Fuhrman, ; Emond, Gilbert‐Diamond, Tanski, & Sargent, ; Gonzales, Largo, Miller, Kanny, & Brewer, ; Housman, Williams, & Woolsey, ; Martz, Patrick, & Schulenberg, ; Marzell, Turrisi, Mallett, Ray, & Scaglione, ; Miller, ; Patrick, Macuada, & Maggs, ; Rutledge, Bestrashniy, & Nelson, ; Snipes & Benotsch, ; Snipes, Green, Javier, Perrin, & Benotsch, ; Snipes, Jeffers, Green, & Benotsch, ). Among U.S. active‐duty Navy and Marine Corps, 28% reported consuming AMED (Knapik et al, ). Reported rates of past year AMED consumption were considerably lower among Canadian student samples, ranging from 17.3% to 20% (Azagba, Langille, & Asbridge, ; Milicic & Leatherdale, ; Reid, Hammond, McCrory, Dubin, & Leatherdale, ).…”

“…The amount of caffeine consumed was estimated from consumption of all caffeine-containing foods and beverages, including energy drinks, but did not include dietary supplements and medications, which are minor sources of caffeine in the diet. 31,32 Participants were asked whether the beverages they consumed were caffeine free. The most up-to-date database provided by the US Department of Agriculture contains codes for 109 coffee drinks (including brewed, instant, espresso, etc), 45 different tea drinks (including hot/ iced, black/green tea), and 21 energy drinks and provides detailed data on the composition of these beverages.…”
