COFFEE BREAK

摘要

Increasing your daily coffee intake lowers the risk of arrhythmia, particularly for atrial fibrillation/flutter and supraventricular tachycardia, a prospective population-based cohort study found1. The study involved 386,258 individuals (52% female) from the UK Biobank (a prospective study of more than 500,000 participants recruited between 2006 and 2010). Participants were grouped according to daily coffee intake -o, <1, 1, 2,3,4,5 or >6 cups a day. During the mean 4.5-year follow-up period, 16,979 participants developed an incident arrhythmia. The risk of incident arrhythmia associated with daily coffee consumption was estimated after adjusting for demographic characteristics, comorbid conditions, and lifestyle habits.
