A survey of 365,682 adults in the United Kingdom suggests a moderate amount of coffee or tea may lower the risk of stroke or dementia.
Consuming multiple drinks daily that have caffeine may be helpful, but proving health benefits is difficult.Drinking a moderate amount of coffee or tea may lower your risk of stroke or dementia, according to a new study.
Researchers surveyed 365,682 adults between the ages of 50 and 74, asking how much tea or coffee they drank each day. The team then tracked each participant’s health outcomes for more than a decade. At the end of the study period there were 5,079 cases of dementia and 10,053 cases of stroke, based on hospital records.
Despite the bold statistics, the new research does not establish any sort of causal link. “We cannot impute causality, and say ‘drinking more coffee or tea is good for your brain,’” Lee H. Schwamm, chair of the American Stroke Association Advisory Committee and chair in Vascular Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, toldin an email.
The new study has plenty of additional limitations, which the authors acknowledge in their paper. It’s important to note, for example, that the team only took self-reported coffee and tea consumption data at the beginning of the study. If people’s coffee drinking habits changed at all during the study period, those data were not collected.
Also, self-reported drinking can be a tricky metric, because people could misremember how many cups they drink and definitions of a “cup” could vary. The participants were also quite homogenous, mostly white and from “less socioeconomically deprived areas” in the United Kingdom.There is a sizable body of research that suggests a low to moderate amount of caffeine consumption is beneficial for health.
