Less stroke in coffee-drinking women

Stroke. 2011 Mar 10. Coffee consumption and risk of stroke in women. (Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden)
  • Questionnaire study on 34670 Swedish women, followed up for 10 years.
  • During a mean follow-up of 10 years, 1680 stroke events occurred.
  • Advantage in relative risk in coffee-drinking women: total stroke, cerebral infarction, hemorrhagic stroke (ICH + SAH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage. (No significant advantage/disadvantage in intracerebral hemorrhage)
  • Above advantages not nullified by correcting age, smoking, body mass, diabetes, hypertension, or alcohol.
