If you’re a coffee lover, we have exciting news for your health. A recent study published in theJournal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolismon Sept. 17, 2024, reveals thatconsuming moderate amounts of caffeine may significantly lower your risk of developing multiple cardiometabolic diseases, includingtype 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke. These findings are timely, considering cardiometabolic diseases have become the leading cause of death in high-income countries.
According to the study, the coexistence of multiple cardiometabolic diseases—known as cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CM)—is becoming increasingly common. As more people face these challenging health issues, it’s essential to understand how dietary choices like coffee consumption can impact long-term health. Read on to learn more.
Compared to non-coffee drinkers, those who consumed threecups of coffeedaily, equivalent to about 200 to 300 milligrams of caffeine, experienced a 48.1% reduced risk of developing CM. Even those who consumed caffeine in moderate amounts saw a 40.7% reduction in risk.
The study concluded that regular coffee or caffeine intake was associated with a lower risk of new-onset CM. Additionally, the researchers discovered that moderate coffee or caffeine intake was inversely associated with almost all stages of cardiometabolic disease development. This finding means that coffee has potential benefits for heart health and may help prevent the progression of various related conditions.
“Consuming three cups of coffee, or 200 to 300 mg caffeine, per day might help to reduce the risk of developing cardiometabolic multimorbidity in individuals without any cardiometabolic disease,” said Chaofu Ke, M.D., PhD, the study’s lead author and researcher atSuzhou Medical College of Soochow University, in a statement. “The findings highlight that promoting moderate amounts of coffee or caffeine intake as a dietary habit to healthy people might have far-reaching benefits for the prevention of CM.”
