There was no independent association with other sociodemographic characteristics (i.e., year level, level of disadvantage, geographic location), consumption of vegetables and fruit, physical activity level, or sedentary recreational screen time.
Regular consumption of energy drinks was independently associated with being male, having greater weekly spending money, high intakes of snack foods, fast food, other sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juice, as well as short sleep duration. A further 16% indicated they consume less than one cup per week of these types of drinks, while around three-quarters (76%) reported they do not consume energy drinks. Overall, 8% of students reported consuming energy drinks on a weekly basis (‘regular consumers’). A multilevel logistic regression model was used to examine associations between energy drink consumption and sociodemographic and behavioural factors.
Within the school setting, students self-completed an online questionnaire assessing their dietary, physical activity and sedentary behaviours. A multistage stratified random sampling procedure was used. Participants were 8942 students in Years 8 to 11 (aged 12 to 17 years) who participated in the 2018 National Secondary Students’ Diet and Activity (NaSSDA) cross-sectional survey. The current study aimed to examine patterns in consumption of energy drinks among Australian secondary school students and identify sociodemographic and behavioural correlates associated with regular consumption. Despite this, marketing of energy drinks is often directed at adolescents, and there are no age restrictions on the sale of these products in Australia. The ‘energy drink’ part is surprisingly very ordinary to look at.Non-alcoholic energy drinks (‘energy drinks’) are high in sugar, as well as caffeine, leading to concerns regarding their suitability for children and adolescents. The multilayered outline is gone, while the background is substituted by a black spade-like shape. The letters are much sounder geometrically, although still reminiscent of knives. On the drinks themselves, the emblem is a bit softer. The only other visual element is the ‘Energy Drink’ inscription in much the same style as the main part. It’s then placed onto a square background of a dark grey color. The text is outlined in black and then in a thinner red layer, and an even slimmer white one. In short, they are tall, thin, strewn all over the canvas and curved upwards from the bottom. The brand’s logo features its own name written in metal-colored letters and with the same appearance as sharp metal blades.
