Coffee consumption and risk of myocardial infarction: a dose-response meta-analysis of observational studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous epidemiological studies have provided inconsistent conclusions on the effect of coffee consumption in the development of myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of coffee consumption and its potential dose-response patterns on the risk of developing MI.

Materials and methods

Three databases were searched for evidence of eligible studies. A random-effects model was used to pool the fully adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Dose-response analysis was performed to show the effect of each cup increased in daily coffee drinking on the risk of MI.

Results

Seventeen studies involving 233,617 participants were included in our study. The association between coffee consumptio
