BACKGROUND
• Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages• Since caffeine is a stimulant, coffee drinking
is not generally considered to be part of a healthy lifestyle• coffee is a rich source of antioxidants and
other bioactive compounds

BACKGROUND
• studies have shown heterogeneous findings.• the differences is due to:• case–control and prospective study designs• inconsistent control for important confounders such as
tobacco smoking• the numbers of deaths have been small in most studies
• Data are lacking to clarify the association between coffee drinking and mortality

METHODS
![Page 5: Association of Coffee Drinking with Total and Cause-Specific Mortality](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013012/56816900550346895de00f15/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

STUDY POPULATION
• Data was taken from a very large study:the National Institutes of Health (NIH)–AARP Diet and Health Study• 617,119 members• 50 to 71 years of age• Participants resided in six states• 566,401 completed the questionnaire
satisfactorily
![Page 6: Association of Coffee Drinking with Total and Cause-Specific Mortality](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013012/56816900550346895de00f15/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

STUDY POPULATION
• they excluded from these analyses:• questionnaires were completed by a spouse• cancer• heart disease• previous stroke• did not provide information on coffee use• did not provide information on cigarette smoking• an extremely low or high caloric died before their
completed questionnaire was received• The resulting analytic cohort included 229,119
men and 173,141 women

ASSESSMENT OF EXPOSURE
• Participants completed a baseline questionnaire that assessed:• demographic and lifestyle• Consumption of fruits, vegetables, red meat, white meat,
and saturated fat were adjusted for total energy intake• Coffee consumption was assessed according to 5
frequency categories• caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee (more than
half the time)

COHORT FOLLOW-UP
• From baseline (1995–1996) until the date of death or December 31, 2008, whichever came first• Vital status was assessed by:• periodic linkage of the cohort to the Social Security
Administration Death Master File• linkage with cancer registries• questionnaire responses

• In this large study, we observed a dose-dependent inverse association between coffee drinking and total mortality
• As compared with men who did not drink coffee, men who drank 6 or more cups of coffee per day had a 10% lower risk of death
• women in this category of consumption had a 15% lower risk
• Similar associations were observed whether participants drank predominantly caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee
• Inverse associations persisted among many subgroups

DISCUSSION
• Our study was larger than prior studies, and the number of deaths (>52,000) was more than twice that in the largest previous study• We noted inverse associations between coffee
drinking and most major causes of death, with the exception of cancer• We observed an inverse association of coffee
consumption with deaths from injuries and accidents

DISCUSSION
• coffee consumption was positively associated with a number of behaviors that are considered unhealthy• Tobacco smoking was the strongest
confounder in the multivariate analysis• inverse association between coffee consumption
and mortality tended to be stronger in smokers subgrups

LIMITATIONS
• Coffee consumption was assessed by selfreport at a single time point and may not reflect long-term patterns of consumption• lacked data on how coffee was prepared
(espresso,boiled, or filtered)• The study neglacted other caffeinated food and
drinks consumption
![Page 19: Association of Coffee Drinking with Total and Cause-Specific Mortality](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013012/56816900550346895de00f15/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

PLAUSIBLE MECHANISMS
• Coffee contains more than 1000 compounds that might affect the risk of death• The most well studied compound is caffeine• Similar associations for caffeinated and
decaffeinated coffee was observed• Other compounds in coffee (e.g., antioxidants,
including polyphenols) might be important
