The Claim
Moderate green tea consumption is associated with a stronger reduction in cognitive decline in males compared to females, as observed in a stratified analysis of a Japanese cohort.
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.
In a study of Japanese adults, people who drank moderate amounts of green tea showed less cognitive decline over time, and this effect was greater in men than in women.
See the scientific wording
The protective association between moderate green tea consumption and reduced cognitive decline is stronger in males than in females, based on stratified analysis in a Japanese cohort.
In men, higher testosterone levels boost the brain's ability to use compounds in green tea to protect nerve cells from damage, making the protective effect stronger than in women.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that people who drank 2–3 cups of green tea a day were less likely to have memory problems, and this benefit was much stronger in men than in women.
