A long-term study involving over 131,000 participants found that moderate coffee and tea consumption is associated with a reduced risk of dementia. The study tracked participants from the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, revealing over 11,000 dementia cases. Higher coffee intake correlated with lower dementia risk and better cognitive performance. The most significant benefits were observed with 2 to 3 cups of coffee or 1 to 2 cups of tea daily, leading to an 18% lower risk of dementia for high coffee consumers.
"The study followed over 131,000 participants in the U.S. who did not have cancer, Parkinson's disease or dementia at the start of the study as a baseline."
"Higher caffeinated coffee intake was significantly associated with lower dementia risk and a lower prevalence of subjective cognitive decline."
"The most significant association with lower dementia risk was seen with participants who consumed approximately 2 to 3 cups per day of caffeinated coffee or 1 to 2 cups per day of tea."
"People with the highest daily intake of coffee compared to those with the lowest intake were at an 18% lower risk of developing dementia."
