Coffee consumption and risk of hypertension in the Polish arm of the HAPIEE cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

Coffee consumption has been hypothesized to be associated with blood pressure (BP), but previous findings are not homogeneous. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between coffee consumption and the risk of developing hypertension.

Subjects/methods
