Associations between coffee consumption and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a Japanese city: the Takayama study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Epidemiological studies suggest that coffee consumption is inversely associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Evidence from studies targeting non-white, non-Western populations is still sparse, although coffee is popular and widely consumed in Asian countries.

Design

Population-based, prospective cohort study. We used Cox proportional hazards models with adjustment for dietary and lifestyle factors to estimate associations between coffee consumption and all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Dietary intake including coffee consumption was assessed only at baseline using a validated FFQ.

Setting

A Japanese city.

Participants

Individuals aged 35 years or older without cancer, CHD and stroke at baseline (n 29 079) and followed from 1992 t
