ImpactHigh impact

Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined observational studies to investigate the relationship between coffee, tea, caffeine consumption, and the risk of depression, finding that higher coffee intake (around 400 mL/day) is associated with a reduced risk of depression.
  • The analysis revealed a nonlinear, J-shaped dose-response relationship for coffee, indicating that moderate coffee consumption has the most protective effect, while the benefits taper off or diminish with higher intake.
  • The study found a borderline nonsignificant link between tea consumption and depression risk, but caffeine intake specifically showed a significant protective effect in prospective studies, supporting the idea that caffeine might also help reduce depression risk.]

@mitokondriac @isnotsettled Pues la cafeína se asocia con menor riesgo de depresión en la mayoría de metaanálisis (además de mayor longevidad, por tanto la idea de riesgo a largo plazo tampoco encaja con la evidencia) https://t.co/7Hvt8XkGeO

Також у 2015 році були опубліковані результати інших досліджень https://t.co/yYeiQoofZt від групи вчених. Вони дослідили дані 346913 людей, 8146 з яких страждали на депресію. Вчені прийшли до висновку, що кофеїн, який присутній в каві, має захисний ефект від депресії.

Otro metaanálisis de 12 estudios observacionales (346.913 participantes, con 8.146 casos de depresión), también reveló una asociación entre un mayor consumo de café y un menor riesgo de depresión: 24% (0,76; IC 95%: 0,64-0,91), versus menor consumo. https://t.co/MBNGhWq5nA
