The authors analyzed a dataset of more than 10,000 adults collected by the US national NHANES survey.
52% of this group of people drink coffee every day and more than 50% said they sit at least 6 hours a day, of which 23% both do not drink coffee and sit for at least 6 hours/day.
During 13 years of follow-up, 945 deaths occurred in study participants, of which 284 were due to cardiovascular disease.
Independent analysis of long sitting time in general shows that people who sit more than 8 hours/day have a 50% higher risk of premature death from all causes and a 40% higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease compared to the general population. Sitting less than 4 hours/day.
Independently considering coffee drinking habits, people who are most “addicted” to coffee have an average 30% lower death rate from all causes than the group that does not drink, and a lower death rate from cardiovascular disease. 50%.
If you do not drink coffee and sit for at least 6 hours/day, your death rate will be 1.6 times higher than those who drink coffee and do not sit for too long.
Additionally, the relationship between sitting time and increased risk of death was specific to adults who did not drink coffee, not among coffee drinkers.
The mechanism by which coffee reduces all-cause mortality remains unclear. However, scientists believe that it is possible that the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in coffee help improve cardiovascular health, thereby reducing the risk of premature death.
More than 1,000 beneficial compounds can be found in coffee, the most common being caffeine, chlorogenic acid, trigonoids, melanoids, caffeic acid, cafestol, kahweol and polyphenols.
