Association of daily sitting time and coffee consumption with the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality among US adults

Cohort Study

Human

2024 Apr 17

This study looked at coffee drinking and death rates in about 10,639 US adults and found that people who drank the most coffee had a 33% lower chance of dying from any cause and a 54% lower chance of dying from heart disease compared to people who didn't drink coffee. This matches exactly what the claim says.

Similar Assertions

People who drink a lot of coffee seem to live longer - they're about one-third less likely to die from any cause and about half less likely to die from heart disease compared to people who don't drink coffee.

Drinking coffee, even just a little bit, seems to be linked to people dying less often from heart disease. People who drink the least coffee still have about 30% lower risk of heart disease death compared to those who don't drink coffee at all.

If you drink coffee, drinking more of it seems to be linked to a lower chance of dying from heart disease - the more cups you have, the less risk you appear to have.

People who drink coffee or tea seem to live longer and have healthier hearts than people who don't drink these beverages, with about a 33% lower chance of dying from any cause and a 54% lower chance of dying from heart disease.

About 1 in 4 American adults sit for more than 6 hours every day and don't drink coffee, and researchers think this group might have a higher chance of dying early.
