1 Faculty of Medicine Consumption Patterns and Side Effects of Energy Drinks among University Students in Palestine Dr. Haleama Al-Sabbah, PhD Dr. Naeem Zaid Qamhiya, MD 2012
2 INTRODUCTION Energy drinks are carbonated drinks that contain large amounts of caffeine and sugar with additional ingredients, such as B vitamins, amino acids (e.g. Taurine), and herbal stimulants such as Guarana [1]. The Red Bull energy drink was introduced to Europe in 1987 and to the United States in new varieties of energy drink were introduced to the worldwide market in 2006 [2]. Energy drinks are nowadays available everywhere 2
3 The energy-drink industry is now considered to be one of the largest industries in beverage market The worldwide sales of the drinks rose from $3.5 billion in 2006 to $4.7 billion in 2007 [3] Energy drinks are marketed with exotic names and catchy slogans, with expensive marketing campaigns Effects used in advertisements: improve performance strength alertness concentration reaction speed increased metabolism 3
4 JUSTIFICATION Although energy drinks have been sold worldwide for more than a decade, only few studies have been published to test the effectiveness of these beverages on the physical or cognitive performance The language and images of such advertising are not directed at mature adults these products are meant to appeal to: teens and young adults University students represent part of the society with high vulnerability to stress mainly from studying, exams and lifestyle No reported or published studies about the exact situation of energy drink usage, patterns of consumption or side effects among young adults in Palestine 4
5 OBJECTIVES 1) Determine the patterns of energy drinks consumption and their associations with socio-demographic characteristics, and body mass index among An-Najah University students 2) Find out the occurrence of adverse side effects among users 3) Verify the relationship between energy-drink consumption and certain daily habits of users 4) Identify the main causes for using or not using energy drinks 5
6 METHODOLOGY A cross-sectional study was conducted at AN-Najah National University, Nablus, Palestine in the period between 8 th of Feb. to 7 th of Mar IRB written approval for this study was obtained and the questionnaires were anonymous An Najah National University is considered to be one of the largest and highest ranked in Palestine. The number of students attending this university was 20,537 students in 2010 distributed on 18 different faculties 6
7 POPULATION AND SAMPLE A total of 300 students were randomly selected from the 3 targeted faculties at An-Najah National University 1) Faculty of Medicine 2) Faculty of Engineering 3) Faculty of Physical Education Students of these faculties are assumed to be more likely to use energy drinks in order to stay awake for studying due to high levels of academic stress 7
8 DATA COLLECTION Focus group discussion with students regarding situations they use energy drinks in, patterns, and side effects from using energy drink Based on the focus group responses, and with the help of previous studies on energy drinks, a selfadministered questionnaire consisted of 25 questions was developed 8
9 QUESTIONNAIRE The first section assessed the socio-demographic information The second section was concerned with daily behavior of participants including: sports, smoking, sleeping habits etc The third section evaluated energy drink consumption patterns among participants, causes of drinking, and any adverse side effect that might have possibly been encountered. 9
10 MAIN MEASURES The Body Mass Index (BMI): calculated by using selfreported weight and height, categorized based on the WHO international BMI classification of adults Monthly expenditure: was categorized by dividing them into quartiles as there was no reliable source determining household income categories in Palestine, according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics Smoking: categorized according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) in which a heavy smoker is defined as that with a daily cigarettes consumption of more than 20 Cig. per day Sleeping hours: were divided into 3 categories, with the normal average sleeping hours considered to be between 7 and 8 hours per day, according to previous studies 10

22 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Energy-drink usage is common among Palestinian university students and higher among males and those with higher monthly expenditure Campaigns should be encouraged in order to spread awareness about the contents and possible side effects of energy drinks.. Further research with a representative sample should be conducted to identify the side effects of energy drinks, and to study the prevalence of energy-drink consumption among all adolescents and young adults 22
