The Claim
Sedentary behavior is associated with increased mortality only among adult coffee non-consumers, while this association is not observed among adult coffee consumers, indicating that coffee consumption may counteract the mortality risk associated with prolonged sitting.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Scientists found that sitting for long periods increases death risk only in people who don't drink coffee - coffee drinkers seem to be protected from the harmful effects of sitting too much.
See the scientific wording
The association between sedentary behavior and increased mortality is only observed among adults who do not consume coffee, but not among adults who consume coffee, suggesting coffee consumption may counteract the harmful effects of prolonged sitting
What the research says
1 studyThis study directly supports the claim. Researchers found that people who don't drink coffee AND sit for more than 6 hours a day have higher death rates, but people who drink coffee don't show this increased risk from sitting. This suggests coffee may protect against the harmful effects of sitting.
