This is the type of writing that is totally useless for stroke survivors. And if we had a great stroke association instead of the fucking failures of stroke associations we have we would have all research translated into understandable language. So we could train our doctors in the latest research.
Journal of the American Heart Association — Bodar V, et al. | August 06, 2019
Among men who participated in the
Physicians’ Health Study (N = 18,960; average age: 66.1 years),
researchers prospectively examined the link between coffee consumption
and risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). They calculated the HRs and 95%
CIs for AF by using Cox proportional hazard models. Participants were
followed-up for a mean duration of 9 years, during which time the
occurrence of 2,098 new cases of AF was reported. HRs (95% CI) of AF
were 1.0 (reference), 0.85 (0.71-1.02), 1.07 (0.88-1.30), 0.93
(0.74-1.17), 0.85 (0.74-0.98), 0.86 (0.76-0.97), and 0.96 (0.80-1.14)
for coffee consumption of rarely/never, ≤ 1 cup/week, 2-4 cups/week, 5-6
cups/week, 1 cup/day, 2-3 cups/day, and ≥ 4 cups/day, respectively. The
investigators adjusted for age, smoking, alcohol intake, and exercise (
P for
nonlinear trend = 0.01). In a secondary analysis the multivariable
adjusted HR (95% CI) of AF per standard deviation (149 mg) change in
caffeine intake was 0.97 (0.92-1.02). Overall, coffee consumption of 1-3
cups daily was associated with a lower risk of AF among men.
