Black Coffee Lovers Rejoice: Drinking 3 Cups a Day May Slash Metabolic Syndrome Risk by 34%
The Relationship Between Coffee Consumption and Metabolic Syndrome in Women
A recent study has found that drinking 2-3 cups of black coffee per day can reduce the risk of developing metabolic syndrome in adult women by 34%. The study, conducted by Professor Je Yu-jin’s team from the Department of Food and Nutrition at Kyung Hee University, analyzed the relationship between coffee consumption and metabolic syndrome among 14,631 adults aged 19 to 64 who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Survey from 2016 to 2021.
The study used a 24-hour dietary recall to assess diet, including the type and amount of coffee consumed. Participants were classified into four groups based on their daily black coffee consumption: no coffee, less than 1 cup per day, 2 to 3 cups per day, and more than 3 cups per day. The results showed that women who drank 2-3 cups of black coffee per day had a 34% lower risk of developing metabolic syndrome compared to those who did not drink coffee.
The study also found that women who drank less than three cups of black coffee per day had relatively high blood HDL cholesterol levels and relatively low blood triglyceride levels. However, no significant relationship was found between coffee consumption and metabolic syndrome in men.
According to the study, the positive effect of coffee on HDL cholesterol and neutral fats may be responsible for the reduced risk of metabolic syndrome in women. This is consistent with previous research, which has also found that coffee can help prevent metabolic syndrome in Koreans.
A previous study published in the journal ”Nutrients” in December 2019 found that not only black coffee but also coffee in bags (a mixture of coffee, sugar, and creamer) and coffee mate (containing mate) can reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome. The study, conducted by Professor Shin Sang-ah’s team at the Department of Food and Nutrition at Chung-Ang University, found that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 18% lower in women who drank bagged coffee.
the study suggests that moderate coffee consumption, defined as 2-3 cups per day, may have a beneficial effect on metabolic syndrome in adult women.
