Coffee may reduce cardiac deaths in older women

摘要

Drinking coffee may inhibit inflammation and therefore reduce the risk of cardiovascular and other inflammatory diseases in postmenopausal women.Researchers were surprised to find that in a healthy Norwegian population, coffee contributed more than 60 per cent of total dietary antioxidants. They studied the association of coffee and total and cause-specific mortality in 27,312 women aged 55 to 69 at baseline who had completed detailed dietary questionnaires in 19 8 6 and were followed up for 15 years.
