“…Previous studies have reported similar findings with increases in somatic complaints among caffeine consumers in grades 6 through 10. 19 Furthermore, Fulkerson et al 18 indicated that increased caffeine consumption, specifically coffee and sodas, was significantly associated with an increase in depressive symptoms. 18 No relationship was found with caffeine and externalizing problems in our sample, which is in contrast to study results by Kim 20 and Kristjansson et al 15 who found that aggression in children was significantly related to total caffeine intake.…”

“…18 Additionally, girls in grades 6 through 10 who report high caffeine consumption are 1.4 times more likely to complain of headaches, stomachaches, and backaches (somatic complaints) compared with those who consumed lower levels of caffeine. 19 Furthermore, increased caffeine consumption has been shown to be related to increased aggression in children aged 14 to 15 years, 15,20 and is strongly related to increased violent behaviors and conduct disorder (externalizing behaviors) in children 10 to 12 years of age. 21 To date, only one study has reported a three-way interaction between aspects of sleep, caffeine consumption, and behavior in children.…”

Study Objectives: To examine caffeine consumption from various dietary sources in a cohort of Australian children and the relationship between caffeine consumption, sleep, and daytime behavior. Methods: Children aged 8 to 12 years and their parents/guardians completed a battery of questionnaires. Children completed a caffeine questionnaire while parents completed questionnaires regarding demographics, sleep, and behavior. Results: The final sample consisted of 309 children (mean ± standard deviation [SD] age 10.6 ± 1.3 years, male = 48%) and corresponding parent reports. On average a mean ± SD 10.2 ± 17.4 mg/day of caffeine was consumed with a range of zero to 151 mg/day. Of the children who consumed caffeine (87% of the sample), the largest contributor was coffee and tea; making up 41% of total caffeine intake, and sodas (soft drinks) contributed to 40% of caffeine intake. Total caffeine consumption was significantly associated with sleep routine (r = 0.152); morning tiredness (r = 0.129); restless sleep (r = 0.113); and internalizing behavioral problems (r = 0.128). Using path analysis, caffeine consumption was positively associated with morning tiredness (β = 0.111, P = .050) which was positively associated with internalizing behaviors (β = 0.432, P < .001). The addition of sleep routine and restless sleep to the model led to a complete mediation of caffeine consumption on morning tiredness, as well as a partial mediation of the association between morning tiredness and internal behaviors. Conclusions: In 8-to 12-year-olds the primary sources of caffeine are coffee/tea and sodas. Overall mean caffeine consumption is small by adult standards but has an effect on behavior and sleep in children. The effect on behavior is mediated by disrupted sleep, indicating that caffeine is a contributor to sleep problems and related behavior in children.

Several dietary habits and lifestyles can be associated with different headache types or with their progression to chronic forms. Different population-based studies have tried to investigate this relationship with poor or contradictory results. We shortly reported the current knowledges available in literature in this regard, paying particular attention to the role that certain factors play in modifying frequency and intensity of headache in adults and in adolescents. Future studies are necessary to clarify the real weight which the different factors have in natural history and in clinic evolution of headache, especially in adolescence, but the already known data suggest an important modulating action. If they will be confirmed, these results will be likely to influence clinical practice as well to address educational programs in preadolescents and adolescents.

“…ND in adolescence may have negative effects on health because of its direct physiological effects as well as its association with individual and familial factors that impact negatively on health. 1,3,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Factors comorbid with adolescent smoking and ND, including substance use (alcohol, marijuana) and mental health problems (depression, anxiety, disruptive disorders), predict poor health in young adulthood. [15][16][17][18]20,[25][26][27][28][29] Parents can affect offspring health through genetic factors, physical and mental health, health behaviors, and socioeconomic status.…”

Introduction: To examine the prospective associations of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders nicotine dependence (ND) and other individual and parental factors in adolescence on self-reported health symptoms in early adulthood. Methods: Multiethnic prospective longitudinal cohort of adolescents from grades 6-10 and a parent (N = 908) from the Chicago Public Schools. Adolescents were interviewed five times at 6-month intervals (Waves 1-5) and once 4.5 years later (Wave 6). Parents were interviewed annually three times (W1, W3, W5). Multivariate regressions estimated prospective associations of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ND, other individual and familial risk factors in adolescence (mean age 16.6) on physical health symptoms in early adulthood (mean age 21.3), controlling for health symptoms in adolescence. Results: Levels of health symptoms declined from adolescence to early adulthood, except among dependent smokers. Nicotine dependent adolescents reported more health symptoms as young adults than nonsmokers and nondependent smokers, especially if depressed. ND and health symptoms in adolescence were the strongest predictors of health in early adulthood. These two adolescent factors, depression, and the familial factors of parental ND, depression and health conditions, each independently predicted health symptoms in young adulthood. Females reported more symptoms than males. Conclusions: There is continuity of health status over time. ND, depression, and parental factors in adolescence contribute to poor health in early adulthood. The findings highlight not only the role of adolescent behavior, but the importance of the family in the development of young adult health. Reducing smoking, particularly ND, and depression among adolescents and parents will decrease physical health burden.
