Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting energy drinks consumption among adolescents in South Korea. Methods: The study is a secondary analysis. Using statistics from the 11th (2015) Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey, any variations among the subjects were presented as percentages and analyzed by $x^2$ test and logistic regression analysis. The study sample comprised 68,043 middle and high school students in South Korea. Results: In Model 1 including general characteristics, the significant factors of energy drinks consumption were gender, weekly allowance, cohabitation with family. and economic status. In the final model where health-related characteristics were added, the significant factors were gender, school type, weekly allowance, cohabitation with family, stress level, sadness, drinking, smoking and walking days. Conclusion: The result suggests that intensified education on energy drinks consumption is needed not only at schools, but in the whole community. Also, adolescents' awareness of potential health effects of energy drinks, in particular when mixed in alcoholic beverages, should be increased through health education.
