Study finds coffee drinkers have lower risk of death – 2
Narrator: This is NIH Health Matters. I’m Joe Balintfy. Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages in America, but the association between coffee consumption and risk of death has been unclear.
Freedman: We saw a very similar association for people drinking both decaffeinated or caffeinated coffee.
Narrator: NIH researcher Dr. Neal Freedman and his colleagues examined the association between coffee drinking and risk of death in 400,000 U.S. men and women ages 50 to 71.
Freedman: We found that over the course of our follow up people who drank coffee had a lower risk of death than people who didn't drink coffee.
Narrator: For details on the association between drinking coffee and death, visit www.cancer.gov. Health Matters is produced by the National Institutes of Health, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
