Abstract

Previous studies of the caffeine consumption pattern were limited primarily to beverages containing caffeine. Therefore, this study examined the caffeine consumption patterns and levels in beverages and foods containing caffeine among high school students (n=310) in the Yongin region. The participants included 171 boys (55.2%) and 139 girls (44.8%). The daily mean caffeine intake of the respondents was 41.27 mg (0.651 mg/kg) and 36.47 mg (0.696 mg/kg) in boys and girls, respectively. Among the caffeinated food groups, coffee had the highest caffeine intake group in both boys (18.95 mg) and girls (26.28 mg). Girls consumed large amounts of caffeine in the form of Americano-style coffee (20.04 mg), whereas boys consumed more canned coffee (6.77 mg) than girls (2.43 mg, P<0.01). Carbonated soft drinks were the second most prevalent source of caffeine intake in both groups, even though boys (14.29 mg) consumed larger amounts of caffeine than girls (5.85 mg, P<0.001). Multiple regression analysis investigating the major contributing food group to daily total caffeine intake also showed that the highest standardized coefficient was in coffee regardless of gender (boys 0.492, P<0.001 and girls 0.944, P<0.001), followed by carbonated soft drinks and energy drinks. Approximately 95% of high school students consumed normal levels of caffeine, whereas 3.5% of boys and 5.8% of girls consumed excessive amounts based on the standard limit of Korea Food and Drug Administration (<2.5 mg/kg/d) for adolescents. The daily mean caffeine intake of the excess group was 5.38 mg/kg and 6.96 mg/kg in boys and girls, respectively. Consequently, safe daily caffeine intake needs to be determined throughout continuous national management guidelines and nutritional education.

경기도 용인지역에 위치한 고등학교에 재학 중인 고등학생 310명을 대상으로 카페인 함유 식품의 소비 패턴 및 소비 수준에 대한 조사를 실시한 후 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 연구 대상자의 성별은 남학생이 171명(55.2%), 여학생이 139명(44.8%)이었으며 학년은 1학년이 31.9%, 2학년이 34.2%, 3학년이 33.9%였다. 하루 평균 카페인 소비량은 남학생의 경우 41.27 mg, 여학생은 36.47 mg으로 남학생이 많은 것으로 나타난 반면, 몸무게 1 kg당 하루 평균 카페인 소비량은 여학생 0.696 mg, 남학생 0.651 mg으로 여학생이 높게 나타났으나 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 카페인의 소비패턴은 '커피류(남학생 18.95 mg/d, 여학생 26.28 mg/d)'가 성별과 관계없이 가장 많았으며 그다음으로는 '탄산음료류(남학생 14.29 mg/d, 여학생 5.85 mg/d)'로 나타났다. 남학생은 '커피류' 중 '캔커피(P<0.01)'와 '탄산음료(P<0.001)'의 소비가 여학생에 비해 많았으며 여학생(0.33 mg/d)은 남학생(0.24 mg/d)보다 '초콜릿류'의 소비가 많은 것으로 나타났다(P<0.05). 카페인의 하루 평균 총소비량에 대한 각 카페인 함유 식품군의 기여도를 조사한 결과에서도 성별과 관계없이 '커피류(남학생 0.492, P<0.001, 여학생 0.944, P<0.001)'가 가장 높은 표준화 계수 값을 나타냈다. 그다음으로는 성별과 관계없이 '탄산음료류', '에너지음료류' 순이었다. KFDA의 청소년 기준 하루 안전한 카페인 소비량(<2.5 mg/kg)을 기준으로 고등학생들의 카페인 소비 수준을 조사한 결과, 남학생의 3.5%와 여학생의 5.8%가 과잉으로 카페인을 섭취하는 것으로 나타났다. 카페인 과잉섭취군의 하루 평균 카페인 소비량은 여학생(376.82 mg)이 남학생(341.35 mg)에 비해 많았으나 유의적인 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났으며 몸무게 1 kg당 카페인 소비량은 남학생 5.38 mg, 여학생 6.96 mg으로 나타났다. 고등학생의 약 95% 정도가 하루 평균 카페인 소비량이 정상적인 수준을 나타내고는 있으나 일부 고등학생들의 카페인 섭취가 과잉된 것으로 나타났으므로 안전한 카페인의 섭취가 유도될 수 있도록 고카페인 식품에 대한 국가적인 차원의 철저한 관리지침을 통해 안전한 섭취의 유도 및 적극적인 영양교육이 요구된다.
