A new study claims that there may be a number of benefits to both heart-health and mortality for those that drink all types of coffee, and not just regular ground \u2013 including instant and decaf coffee too.<\/p>\n

Published on September 27 in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology<\/a>, the findings explain how drinking two to three cups of coffee every day is associated with \u2018equivalent reductions in the incidence of cardiovascular disease and death from cardiovascular disease or any cause,\u2019 explains study author Peter Kistler, MBBS, PhD<\/a>, who also happens to be the head of clinical electrophysiology research at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia. He explained in a press release<\/a>, \u201cThe results suggest that mild to moderate intake of ground, instant, and decaffeinated coffee should be considered part of a healthy lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

For most people, this is wonderful news considering around 3 out of 5 Americans drink coffee every single day. Moreover, the average coffee drinker has just over 3 cups per day, says the National Coffee Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Looking At Coffee Drinking Habits of Almost Half a Million People<\/strong><\/p>\n

The main purpose of this study was to look at how drinking different types of coffee influences heart health, such as incident arrhythmias<\/a>, congestive heart failure<\/a>, ischemic stroke<\/a>, coronary heart disease, and overall survival.<\/p>\n

Researchers took data from the UK Biobank<\/a>, which happens to be an international health resource that collects blood, urine, and saliva samples alongside other detailed health information, for the purpose of research on a large range of illnesses from over a half-million people aged 40 to 70 years old in England, Wales, and Scotland over the years 2006 to 2010.<\/p>\n

This particular study included a total of 449,563 individuals with an average age of 58 years old. 55.3 percent of them were women. Those included in the trial were participants that were free of arrhythmias or other cardiovascular diseases at baseline.<\/p>\n

They were made to complete a questionnaire, which asked them how many cups of coffee they drank every day, and whether they drank instant, ground \u2013 like filtered coffee or cappuccinos, or decaffeinated coffee.<\/p>\n

Depending on their responses, each participant was grouped into one of six daily intake categories, which consisted of 0, less than 1, 1, 2 to 3, 4 to 5, and more than 5 cups of coffee a day.<\/p>\n

For this study, the most popular type of coffee was instant, which was consumed by 198,062 participants or 44.1 percent. Next was ground coffee, at 82,575 participants or 18.4 percent, and lastly decaffeinated coffee, which was 68,416 participants or 15.2 percent. As for the other 100,512 participants or 22.4 percent, they were non-coffee drinks who were the comparator group.<\/p>\n

The study looked at the coffee drinkers in comparison to the non-coffee drinkers looking for incidence of cardiovascular disease, arrhythmias, and death after they controlled a number of factors such as age, sex, obesity, ethnicity, diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking status, obstructive sleep apnea, and coffee and tea consumption. This outcome information was taken from their medical and death records.<\/p>\n

Finding That Those Who Drank Any Type of Coffee Had Decreased Death Risk <\/strong><\/p>\n

What the authors saw were several benefits among the participants who drank coffee. They are as follows:<\/p>\n
