Cross-sectional analysis reveals that moderate coffee intake may lower hypertension risk in adults, suggesting U-shaped association.
Key Points
Moderate coffee intake (1-3 cups/day) is associated with lower odds of hypertension in adults under 60 years.
Logistic regression analysis showed odds ratios for coffee drinkers between 0.829 to 0.869, indicating a significant reduction in hypertension prevalence.
The study analyzed data from 41,685 adults, utilizing comprehensive NHANES information from 2005 to 2020.
Further prospective research is essential to clarify causality, as this cross-sectional study design limits definitive conclusions.
