The outcomes of the study applied to ground, instant, and decaffeinated varieties of the beverage, and the researchers concluded that coffee drinking should be regarded as an integral element of a healthy lifestyle.
Daily consumption of two to three cups of coffee may be associated with a longer lifespan.
Coffee consumption was also related to a lower risk of cardiovascular illness, according to research.
The outcomes of the study applied to ground, instant, and decaffeinated varieties of the beverage, and the researchers concluded that coffee drinking should be regarded as an integral element of a healthy lifestyle.
The study, which was published in the European Journal of Preventative Cardiology, indicated that two to three cups of coffee per day provided the highest risk decrease.
Compared to not drinking coffee, decaffeinated, ground, and instant coffee preparations were associated with a 14%, 27%, and 11% decreased risk of death over the 12.5-year study period, respectively.
In this large observational analysis, ground, instant, and decaffeinated coffee were linked with similar decreases in the incidence of cardiovascular disease and mortality from cardiovascular disease or any cause.
“The findings imply that a light to moderate use of ground, instant, and decaffeinated coffee should be regarded as part of a healthy lifestyle.”
Using data from the UK Biobank project – which recruited participants between the ages of 40 and 69 – the study examined the relationships between different types of coffee and heart rhythms, cardiovascular illness, and mortality.
The components of cardiovascular disease were coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, and ischaemic stroke.
Prof. Kistler stated, “Caffeine is the most well-known component of coffee, but the beverage contains about one hundred biologically active compounds.”
“It is probable that non-caffeinated compounds were responsible for the observed positive associations between coffee consumption, cardiovascular disease, and survival.
“Our findings show that moderate coffee consumption of all sorts should not be discouraged, but can be embraced as a heart-healthy practice.”
About 449,563 individuals responded to a survey asking how many cups of coffee they consumed daily and whether they typically consumed instant, ground, or decaffeinated coffee.
The participants were then divided into six daily consumption categories: none, less than one, one, two to three, four to five, and more than five cups per day.
Researchers discovered that 27,809 (6.2%) individuals perished during a 12.5-year follow-up period.
While all forms of coffee were associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, those who consumed three or more cups per day had the lowest risk.
