妊婦と管理栄養士養成課程女子学生におけるカフェイン入り飲料の購入状況

抄録

When consumed in appropriate amounts, caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, preventing drowsiness, recovering from fatigue, and improving concentration. It also has a stimulant effect, and consuming more than 1000 mg in a short period of time can overstimulate the central nervous system and heart. From 2021 to 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 27 pregnant women and 146 female students regarding their caffeine purchases. When asked how they found out about caffeinated beverages, pregnant women saw them in stores, while female students were more likely to see commercials, advertisements, or TV. When asked whether they checked the caffeine content, pregnant women（74%）and female students（86%）did not. When asked whether they consumed caffeinated beverages, pregnant women and female students consumed more coffee and black tea, while female students consumed significantly more roasted green tea than pregnant women. Caffeinated beverages only list the amount of caffeine, and we believe that symptoms of overdose and precautions should be included.
