Abstract in brief

  • The study followed over 50,000 US women, aged around 63 years, who initially had no depression, to see how their coffee and caffeine intake affected their risk of developing depression over about 10 years.
  • Results showed that women who drank 2-3 cups of caffeinated coffee daily had an approximately 15% lower risk of depression, and those drinking 4 or more cups had about a 20% lower risk, compared to women drinking less than one cup per week.
  • The decrease in depression risk was linked specifically to caffeinated coffee, not decaffeinated coffee, suggesting caffeine might play a role in reducing depression risk, but further research is needed to confirm this.]
