Background:
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has identified some risk factors for the occurrence of side effects linked to energy drinks (EDs) consumption by young people. EDs consumption has been evaluated in a sample of students in Italy together with some aspects of their lifestyle.
Methods:
The survey was performed in two high schools from September 2016 to June 2017. 583 students between 14 to 18 years were recruited and a standard questionnaire (EFSA checklist) was used to collect information on responders characteristics, beverages consumption, EDs with alcohol, and EDs and sports.
Results:
Despite 350 out of 583 responders (60%) consumed EDs, only 146 out of 583 (25%) were EDs-alcohol consumers. Moreover, 208 out of 379 (55%) of all physically active adolescents reported frequent EDs consumption before sport trainings.
Conclusions:
Study results highlight the need for primary prevention measures in communication campaigns and training delivered by school to limit potential health threats related to excess of EDs consumption.
