Coffee drinking linked to lower mortality risk—again.
Scientists seem to be topping off the data on coffee’s health benefits.
In a fresh-brewed study involving more than 200,000 people, researchers found that drinking
coffee—regular or decaf—is associated with an overall lower risk of mortality. Drinking between
three and five cups a day perked up survival rates the most, lowering the risk of premature death
by up to 15 percent compared to coffee abstinence, researchers reported Monday in Circulation.
Though the study reveals only a correlation—not a potential cause for the life-upper—it follows
decades of studies that found specific and general health benefits of coffee drinking, particularly
lower risks of cardiovascular disease, liver diseases, diabetes, and overall mortality. Plus, the
study’s large size helps parse other health factors, particularly smoking, that may conceal coffee’s
protective effects.
The authors, led by Frank Hu of Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, concluded that the
“results from this and previous studies indicate that coffee consumption can be incorporated into a
healthy lifestyle.”
For the study, Hu and colleagues analyzed health records of more than 200,000 people, mined
from three large clinical trials that included doctors, nurses, and other health professionals. In
those trials, participants were periodically given food questionnaires and followed for up to 30
years, during which 30,000 participants died.
Combining all the data, researchers found that drinking up to five cups of coffee a day lowered the
risk of all-cause mortality by 5 to 9 percent compared to drinking no coffee. Drinking more than
five cups a day had no association with mortality risk, the authors found.
