A large study of nearly half a million people found that drinking coffee was associated with a longer life and less likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease and arrhythmias. The results were published on September 27. European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.

According to the study, benefits can be obtained by drinking ground, soluble, or decaffeinated coffee, and the highest longevity rate was for participants who drank two to three cups of ground coffee (such as cappuccino or filter coffee) per day.

The study’s author, Professor Peter Kistler, explained that caffeine is the most well-known component of coffee, but the beverage has more than 100 biologically active components.

According to him, decaffeinated compounds are likely to be “responsible for the observed positive associations between coffee consumption, cardiovascular disease, and survival.” Drinking any kind of coffee should not be discouraged, on the contrary, it should be considered as a behavior that is good for heart health.

Study and main results

blinds

Data from 449,563 participants with a median age of 58 years, without arrhythmias and other cardiovascular diseases at baseline, were analyzed. 55.3% of them were women.

Participants reported how many cups of coffee they drank per day and the type of coffee—instant, ground, or decaffeinated—and were divided into six daily intake categories, from drinking no coffee to a maximum of five cups per day.

Consumers were compared to nonsmokers for the incidence of arrhythmias, cardiovascular disease, and death for a little over 12 years. 27,809 (6.2%) participants died during follow-up.

At the end of the study, all types of coffee were associated with a reduction in all-cause mortality. The greatest risk reduction was seen with two to three cups per day, associated with 14%, 27%, and 11% lower odds of death for the decaffeinated, ground, and instant preparations, respectively.

Two to three cups a day had the lowest risk of cardiovascular disease, and the odds of cardiovascular disease were reduced by 6%, 20%, and 9% for decaffeinated, ground, and instant coffee, respectively.

Ground and instant coffee, not decaf, were associated with 17% and 12% reductions in arrhythmias, respectively, including atrial fibrillation.
