How many university students regularly consume energy drinks? SapienzaRoma ElsevierConnect EnergyDrinks University Students
By Tarun Sai LomteNov 8 2022Reviewed by Aimee Molineux A recent study published in Nutrition evaluated university students' consumption patterns of energy drinks .
About the study In the present systematic review and meta-analysis, researchers assessed ED consumption among university students. PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched for articles using “energy drink,” “consumption,” and “university/college/undergraduate students” as the search terms. Studies were eligible if they reported data on ED consumption among university students, independent of age and gender.
Publication bias was estimated using Egger’s test and funnel plot. Sub-group and meta-regression analyses were conducted to identify the source of expected heterogeneity in meta-analyses. The World Health Organization regions, sample size, age, gender, publication year, and the methodological quality of studies were considered for sub-group and meta-regression analysis.
The prevalence of ED consumption was higher than 86% in studies from South America, albeit only three studies analyzed it. Twenty-one studies evaluated the prevalence of ED consumption by gender, and 18 reported higher ED use among males. Thirty studies investigated the adverse effects of ED use; participants in more than 20 studies mainly reported sleep disturbances and heart function disorders.
