“…For both sexes, adolescents who consumed HCB were more likely to be obese, to drink soda at least once a week, and to drink sweetened beverage at least once a week. This not only confirms previous findings that the sugar content and the subsequent sweet flavor are reasons why adolescent consume HCBs [36,37], but it also suggests that for adolescents consuming HCBs, the sugar content and its subsequent impact on weight may mask any weight-loss effect expected from the caffeine content [23,26].…”

“…Previous studies have focused on sleep, stress, and psychological correlates of highly caffeinated beverage consumption among Korean adolescents [5,6]. Relatively less attention was given to factors that may influence individuals' decision to use HCB, such as nutrition [20,21], physical activity level [22], and body mass index (BMI) [23]. Few of the studies that considered such factors were not generalizable to the entire Korean adolescent population [21,24].…”

Background : Adolescents in South Korea may be particularly vulnerable to highly caffeinated beverage consumption, which may lead to psychological and physiological problems. However, correlates of highly caffeinated beverage consumption have not been rigorously examined for Korean adolescents. This study investigated socio-demographic and behavioral factors related to highly caffeinated beverage consumption, using a nationally representative sample of Korean adolescents. Methods : We used 267,907 middle and high school students from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey collected from year 2014 to 2017 for the present cross-sectional study. We employed multiple logistic regression to examine the associations between highly caffeinated beverage consumption and socio-demographic and behavioral factors. Results : Highly caffeinated beverage consumption was higher in 2017 than 2014 (23.9% vs. 12.0%) among Korean adolescents. Drinkers of highly caffeinated beverages were more likely to be boys, to be overweight or obese, to overestimate their body weight, to drink soda > 1 time per week, and to drink sweetened beverages > 1 time per week ( p s < .05). Additionally, drinkers of highly caffeinated beverages were more likely to feel stressed, to feel sadness and depression, to seriously consider suicide, and to attempt suicide during last 12 months ( p s < .05). Among male participants, drinkers of highly caffeinated beverages were less likely to meet the recommended 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night ( p < .05). Conclusions : Highly caffeinated beverage consumption is a potential health concern, as drinkers of highly caffeinated beverages were more likely to report health and behavioral problems. New strategies are needed to effectively curb highly caffeinated beverage consumption in Korea.

“…Joint HCB consumption with substance use and other at-risk behaviours such as binge drinking, sweetened beverage intake, junk food, steroid and performance-enhancing substances intake or the number of hours playing video games is often reported in children and young adults. 32,42,46 HCB consumption has also been positively linked to body mass index (BMI), due to sugar contained in HCBs and the associated eating behaviours that promote obesity and diabetes. 35,46 However, BMI is difficult to interpret in rugby players, regarding the wide range of morphologies in amateur practicing and the specific impact of sport-related elevation in muscle mass on BMI.…”

Background and aim We aimed to investigate cardiovascular risk factors and health behaviours prospectively in a large population of French amateur rugby players. Methods An anonymous questionnaire was displayed to rugby players aged over 12 years enrolled in the 2014–2015 French amateur rugby championship from the Burgundy region ( n = 5140). Questions addressed awareness on: (a) cardiovascular prevention; (b) tobacco, alcohol and highly caffeinated beverages consumption; and (c) adherence to prevention guidelines (ECG checks, training in basic life support, avoidance of sports practice during fever/infectious episodes). Results Among the 640 participants who completed the questionnaires, most were male (90%) and were aged under 35 years (80%). Almost half had basic life support training (42%), but only a minority attended an ECG check-up before licensing (37%), and only a few were aware of the cardiovascular prevention information campaign (17%), similarly across the age groups. Surprisingly, playing rugby with fever was commonly reported (44%) and was even more frequent in young women (55%). A high number of respondents were current smokers (35%), of whom most reported consumption less than 2 hours before/after a rugby session. Alcohol drinkers were frequent (69%), of whom most (79%) drank alcohol less than 2 hours before/after a match. Highly caffeinated beverages consumption (34%) was high, particularly in younger players (39%). Half highly caffeinated beverages consumption was in the setting of a rugby session, even greater in women and mainly motivated by performance enhancement (34%). Conclusion Our findings from a representative regional cohort may help to identify targets for cardiovascular prevention through the development of educational programmes aiming to improve the knowledge and behaviour of amateur rugby players.

“…Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) such as sodas is linked to adverse health consequences including obesity [1–3] and various metabolic health impacts [4, 5] including dyslipidemia [6], diabetes [7], dental caries [8] and poor sleep hygiene [9, 10] . Artificially-sweetened beverages are also associated with higher energy intake despite their calorie-free properties [11], possibly due to their heightened sweetness which may impact one’s perception of energy intake [12].…”

Electronic device use and beverage related sugar and caffeine intake in US adolescents

BackgroundDespite recent declines in consumption of sugary beverages, energy drinks (ED) and sodas continue to contribute a substantial amount of sugar and caffeine to the diet of youth. Consumption of these beverages has been linked with electronic device use, however in-depth associations between sugar and caffeine intake from energy drinks and sodas with various electronic devices are not clear.ObjectiveDescribe the relationship of soda and energy drink consumption and associated added sugar and caffeine intake with electronic device use among adolescents.MethodsSecondary data from the 2013–2016 cycles of Monitoring the Future Survey, a national, repeated, cross-sectional study, were analyzed. Information on energy drink and soda consumption by students in grades 8 and 10 (n = 32,418) from 252–263 schools randomly sampled from all US states was used.ResultsSoda and energy drink consumption decreased each year from 2013–2016 while daily use of electronic devices remained stable. An additional hour/day of TV was linked to a 6.92g (6.31,7.48; p<0.001) increase in sugar intake and a 32% (OR = 1.32; 1.29,1.35; p < .001) higher risk of exceeding World Health Organization (WHO) recommended sugar intakes. Further, each hour/day of TV was linked to a 28% increased risk of exceeding caffeine recommendations (OR = 1.25–1.31; p<0.001). Each hour per day talking on a cellphone was associated with an increased risk of exceeding WHO sugar and caffeine intakes by 14% (OR = 1.11–1.16; p<0.001) and 18% (OR = 1.15–1.21; p<0.001) respectively. Video game use was only weakly linked to caffeine intake. Computer use for school was associated with lower likelihood of exceeding sugar intake cut-offs.ConclusionWhile a trend towards reduced energy drink and soda intake from 2013–2016 was evident, greater electronic device use, especially TV time, was linked to higher intake of beverage-derived added sugar and caffeine amongst adolescents. Addressing these behaviours through counselling or health promotion could potentially help to reduce excess sugar and caffeine intake from sodas and energy drinks among this population.
