Tea May Beat Coffee for Hip Bone Health in Older Women, Study Finds
""Even small improvements in bone density can translate into fewer fractures across large groups," study co-author Enwu Liu of Flinders University said in an announcement of the study."
""While moderate coffee drinking appears safe, very high consumption may not be ideal, especially for women who drink alcohol," Enwu Liu said."
A study involving over 9,700 U.S. women aged 65 and older found that tea drinkers had higher hip bone mineral density compared to non-tea drinkers. Coffee consumption showed neutral effects on bone density, except for those drinking five or more cups daily, who had lower total hip BMD. The study noted interactions with BMI and alcohol intake, indicating that tea was beneficial for women with obesity, while coffee's effects varied based on alcohol consumption. Limitations included self-reported data and a predominantly White cohort.
