how are they defining “cup”? 16 oz? 8? some coffee roasters advise using 6oz “cups” as a measurement, some say 8
Don’t know regarding the study, but as a rule coffee “cups” are commonly either 4oz or 6oz.
6oz is the most common measurement for a “cup” of coffee as far as I know.
In this case, it appears to be the caffeine. Also, with these sorts of large studies, the amount is self-reported, so “a cup” is whatever the person reporting considers to be a cup, it’s not some controlled amount.
Question: Is long-term intake of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee associated with risk of dementia and cognitive outcomes?
Findings: In this prospective cohort study of 131 821 individuals from 2 cohorts with up to 43 years of follow-up, 11 033 dementia cases were documented. Higher caffeinated coffee intake was significantly associated with lower risk of dementia. Decaffeinated coffee intake was not significantly associated with dementia risk.
Meaning: Higher caffeinated coffee intake was associated with more favorable cognitive outcomes.
How about 15?
Also, I wonder if they controlled for people who do specific kinds of work where coffee explicitly helps in the labor.
How about 15?
Fight dementia today, by dying of a heart attack at 45 instead
15 is a fine number. I once had 15 in two hours. I’m fine.
I discovered a hack deal by just pouring extra shots of espresso into the coffee. One cup, 10 shots, one gram of caffeine. Expect the barista to glare with concern, it’s part of the deal.
