Associations of green tea, coffee, and soft drink consumption with longitudinal changes in leukocyte telomere length.

ABSTRACT: Whether beverage consumption is associated with longitudinal observation of telomere length remains unclear. We evaluated the association of green tea, coffee, and soft drink consumption with 6-year changes in leukocyte telomere length (LTL). The study included 1952 participants who provided whole blood samples for LTL assays during the baseline (year 2011-2012) and follow-up (year 2017-2018) periods and reported baseline information on consumption of green tea, coffee, and soft drinks. Robust regression analysis was used to analyze the association adjusted for potential confounding variables. In the results, an inverse association between green tea consumption and LTL changes from baseline, which indicate telomere shortening, was found; regression coefficient [95% confidence interval] was
