The Claim

Higher caffeine consumption (>300 mg/day) is associated with a greater reduction in Alzheimer’s disease progression compared to low caffeine intake (<100 mg/day), as indicated by hazard ratios of 0.71 versus 0.94, suggesting a dose-response relationship in observational data.

In plain English

People who drink a lot of coffee or tea—more than 300 mg of caffeine a day—might see their memory problems from Alzheimer’s slow down more than people who drink very little caffeine, based on studies that track groups over time.

  1. Study: CAFFEINE AND COFFEE INTAKE AND THE RISK OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE PROGRESSION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

    This study found that people who drink more coffee (over 300 mg of caffeine a day) tend to decline more slowly from Alzheimer’s than those who drink very little, which matches what the claim says.
