Coffee does not increase the risk of stroke at the women

Contrary to what some studies had let believe, the consumption of coffee would not increase the risk to be victim of a cerebral vascular accident (stroke). In some cases, sit be able to even reduce it!

It is what the results of an epidemiological survey published in the American medical magazine Circulation1 indicate.

During 24 years, some Spanish researchers followed more than 83 000 women having endured cerebral vascular accident, unrest cardiovascular, diabetes or cancer never before the beginning of the survey.

At the end of the period of observation, they noted that the risk of cerebral vascular accident was not more elevated at those that regularly consumed coffee that at those that did not consume or that some drank some only rarely.

Their results indicate that even the impact of cerebral vascular accident was slightly lower among the women who drank coffee daily. They return a reduction of the risk of the order of 19% at those that drank of some 2 to 3 cups per day in relation to those that consumed less than one cup of it per month. The reduction was similar (20%) at those that drank 4 cups of it per day or more.

If it appears clear that coffee does not constitute a factor of cerebral vascular accident risk at the women in good health, the researchers warn that they can only conclude it assures a protective effect.

They underline that besides the light reduction of the cerebral vascular accident risk that the results reveal annuls itself when the women are smoky. They also return that tea and the caffeinated drinks did not provide protection against the cerebral vascular accident, what could indicate that the protective effect, if it really exists, would not be attributable to caffeine, but to other components of coffee.

The results of a étude2 published last month indicate that coffee does not increase either the risk of cerebral vascular accident at the men. The American researchers had led this survey by about 3 500 diabetic men not having endured any no cardiovascular trouble in the beginning of the survey.
