OMG Drinking Coffee reduces death

in #health8 years ago

Drinking 4 cups of coffee per day REDUCES:

All cause mortality (i.e. death from all causes) with a RR (Relative Risk see explanation below) of 0.84
CVD (Cardiovascular Disease) mortality with a RR of 0.83
CHD (Coronary Heart Disease) mortality with a RR of 0.84
Stroke mortality with a RR of 0.72
NB: Figures are taken from the raw data in the author's tables (2 and 3) for the RR of drinking 4 cups of coffee, rather than the up to 4 cups of coffee measure in the abstract as I could not find the full comparative data for the latter measurement.
Cancer Mortality Results, Smoking vs Non Smoking

However 4 cups of coffee slightly increases Cancer Mortality with a RR of 1.01 - this is believed to be an artifact of the association between smoking and coffee drinking:
