Coffee Consumption and Incident Kidney Disease: Results From the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Moderate coffee consumption has been suggested to be associated with lower risk for chronic conditions such as diabetes, a major precursor to chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the association between coffee and CKD has not been fully established. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort study.

Setting & participants

14,209 participants aged 45 to 64 years from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study.

Predictors

Coffee consumption (cups per day) was assessed at visits 1 (1987-1989) and 3 (1993-1995) using food frequency questionnaires.

Outcomes

Incident CKD defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60mL/min/1.73m² accompanied by ≥25% estimated glomerular filtration rate decline, CKD-related hospitalization or death, or end
