Description
For the first time, a tool (questionnaire with calculation programme) to assess the caffeine intake among adolescents and young adults has been developed and validated. It has proved to be applicable in surveys of more than 200 students. The average workday caffeine intake was between 105 mg and 130 mg. Coffee was the major source.
