Coffee May Reduce the Risk of Stroke.


Pour yourself another cup as a new study suggests that regular coffee drinking seems to reduce the risk of stroke.

A twelve year long study of 23,000 adults showed that coffee consumption was inversely proportional to the risk of stroke. 

Reported coffee drinkers had a 27% lower RISK of stroke compared with adults who never drank coffee, however the greater the amount of coffee consumed was not associated with greater risk reduction.   That is to say, higher amounts of coffee consumed did not equate to greater protection.

These finding were consistent across the sexes, age groups, socio-economic and education level, smoking/alcohol use and phyical activity levels.  That means it did not matter what a person's other habits were like or their personal background, coffee consumption was associated with lower risk.  And it did not matter if the coffee was regular or decaf, instant or ground. 

While this isn't new news, it does confirm what was previously seen in other studies, however researchers still do not know why this relationship exists, or even if it is indeed causative.

Weaker studies have shown associations between coffee consumption and lower risk for diabetes and heart disease.

So, there are no official suggestions that people drink coffee to lower their risk of stroke. 

But why do you see me with a cup all the time?
