According to a new study, women who drink coffee every day.
Researchers found that women who enjoy three small cups daily coffee with caffeine in the Middle Ages remain sharp, strong and mentally well as they grow old.
But decaffeinated tea and coffee did not show the same benefits, while the glues were “strongly associated” with the least healthy aging, according to the findings of the study that followed thousands of women for 30 years.
The author of the study, Dr. Sara Mahdavi, said: “Although past studies have linked coffee to individual health results, our study is the first to evaluate the impact of coffee in various aging domains for three decades.
“The findings suggest that coffee with caffeine (neither has or decaf) can exclusively endure the trajectories of aging that retain the mental and physical function.”
Dr. Mahdavi, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard Th Chan School of Public Health in the United States, and an assistant professor at the University of Toronto, Canada, said: “Our study has several strengths.
“In addition to the sample size and 30 years of follow -up, various aspects of longevity and healthy aging were evaluated, as well as very complete information on the nutritional and life habits that were collected every four years after the study of the study.”
The study included 47,513 women with dietary and health data collected since 1984.
The research team evaluated caffeine intake through questionnaires that included the consumption of main caffeine collaborators such as coffee, tea, glue and decaffein coffee.
Healthy aging was defined as a living until the age of 70 or older, free of 11 great chronic diseases, maintaining physical function, having good mental health and showing no cognitive impairment or memory complaints.
After 30 years, the research team estimated how the probability of healthy aging changed for every 80 mg of caffeine that the study participants consumed up to date.
They also examined specific drinks that include coffee, tea, decaffeinated coffee, by eight ounces and glue, for 12 ounce glass.
The analysis represented other factors that could influence healthy aging, such as body weight, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, education level and protein in the diet.
In 2016, 3,706 of women in the study met all the requirements for being considered healthy agents.
In the Middle Ages, from 45 to 60, women usually consumed an average of 315 mg of caffeine a day, about three small cups of coffee or 1.5 large cups according to current standards.
More than 80% of this caffeine came from regular coffee consumption.
For women in the Agers Healthy group, each additional cup of coffee a day was linked to 2% to 5% chance to make it later in life, up to five small cups a day, or about 2.5 cups according to current measures.
The research team did not find any significant association between coffee consumption or decaffeinous tea with a greater probability of healthy aging.
And every small small pop glass (another important source of caffeine) was associated with a probability of 20% to 26% lower of healthy aging.
Researchers say that findings indicate that not all caffeine sources give benefits.
Dr. Mahdavi said: “These results, although predicted, suggest that small and consistent habits can shape long -term health.
“Moderate intake of coffee can offer some protective benefits when combined with other healthy behaviors such as regular exercise, a healthy diet and avoiding smoking.
“Although this study is added to previous evidence that suggests that coffee intake may be related to healthy aging, the benefits of coffee are relatively modest compared to the impact of general healthy lifestyle habits and justifying later research.”
Researchers say that, in general, up to two cups of coffee a day should be safe and potentially beneficial to most people.
Beyond that, drinking more can offer additional advantages for some, but it may not be healthy for others.
Dr. Mahdavi and his colleagues have shown in an earlier study that genetic variation can influence the relationship between caffeine intake and health results, so that more caffeine is not always better, especially for people with less tolerance for specific genetic caffeine or susceptibility.
The team now plans to investigate how coffee specific bioactive compounds interact with genetic and metabolic aging markers, especially in women.
They say that understanding these mechanisms could guide personalized medicine approaches to developing diets that support healthy aging.
Dr. Mahdavi presented the findings to the annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition in Orlando, Florida.
