New research suggests drinking coffee may reduce the risk of frailty

Findings of new research suggest regular coffee consumption may contribute to improved health in older adults. Researchers found habitual coffee consumption was associated with a reduced risk of frailty - defined by presence of weight loss, weakness, exhaustion, slow walking speed, or low physical activity. The research is the first to analyse the relationship between coffee consumption and the underlying components of frailty.

Daily Coffee Consumption Linked to Extended Healthy Aging

A new review paper published in Ageing Research Reviews and supported by the Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee (ISIC) explores the science behind coffee’s relationship with healthy aging. On average, it was found that regular coffee consumption added almost two extra years of healthy ageing to a person’s life.

An introduction to coffee

Facts about coffee

Coffee can used as an ergogenic aid and can improve performance in endurance cycling and running.

About
Sports performance

3-4 cups of coffee per day is associated with an approximate 25% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

About
Type 2 diabetes

Drinking coffee can stimulate digestion as well as reducing risk of gallstones and certain liver diseases, such as pancreatitis.

About
Liver function

2-3 cups of coffee daily is associated with a 10-15% reduced risk of developing coronary heart disease, heart failure or a heart rhythm problem.

Health conditions

Bone health

Incidence of osteoporotic fractures between and within countries vary largely, partly related to economic prosperity. The number of osteoporotic fractures is also rapidly rising in many countries.

Cancer

According to 2020 data from the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer causes 20% of all deaths in Europe.

Cardiovascular health

CVD remains the leading cause of mortality and a major cause of morbidity in Europe. Lifestyles choices are the biggest risk factors associated with the risk of developing CVD and for CVD mortality.

GI function

Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), of varying symptoms and severity, are a growing burden on populations and healthcare systems. Often a causal link cannot be isolated, requiring a number of diagnostic procedures and treatment.

Gallstones

Gallstones are small stones, usually made of cholesterol, that form in the gallbladder. Whilst gallstones are quite common, the number of deaths are significantly decreasing.

Liver function

The European Association for the Study of the Liver estimates that approximately 29 million people in the European Union suffer from a chronic liver condition.

Neurodegenerative disorders

Cognitive functions remain relatively stable until an individual reaches approximately 60 years old, at which point they tend to slow down, particularly between 60 and 80 years.

Type 2 diabetes

Type 1 and 2 diabetes are significant public health concerns across the globe, particularly in low and middle-income countries.

Coffee and the senses

The sensory experience when consuming a cup of coffee is one of the key aspects of the beverage, providing unique aromas, tastes and flavours.

Fluid balance

The study of the effect of coffee on fluid balance can be split into two distinct areas: caffeine intake in the general population and caffeine intake specifically during exercise.

Life expectancy

Life expectancy is an important demographic statistic that can be used to compare the health status of different population groups.

Mental performance

The association between caffeine consumption and an increase in alertness and performance has been well documented.

Pregnancy

It is widely accepted that any effects of coffee consumption on reproductive health are likely to be linked to caffeine rather than to coffee consumption per se.

Sports performance

Research suggests that caffeine may help to improve physical performance during both endurance and high-intensity exercise.
