"Consuming three cups of coffee, or 200-300 mg caffeine, per day might help to reduce the risk of developing cardiometabolic multimorbidity in individuals without any cardiometabolic disease," says Dr. Chaofu Ke, the lead author of the study from Suzhou Medical College in China, in a media release. This suggestion highlights the potential protective benefits of moderate coffee consumption against serious heart conditions and diabetes.
The study didn't just look at a handful of coffee drinkers. It drew from the UK Biobank, involving over 500,000 British adults. After excluding participants with unreliable information about their caffeine intake, the researchers analyzed data from 172,315 individuals, providing a substantial foundation for the conclusions drawn from the research regarding coffee's health benefits.
Compared to those who consumed little to no caffeine (less than 100mg per day), moderate coffee drinkers (3 cups per day) had a 48.1% lower risk of developing cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Similarly, those who consumed 200-300 mg of caffeine per day from any source had a 40.7% reduced risk, indicating a significant protective effect of caffeine against multiple health issues.
