This study is based on the UK Biobank, which summarizes genetic and health data collected from 500,000 people in the United Kingdom. A research team at the University of South Australia conducted a survey of 17,702 people aged 37-73 who participated in the UK Biobank. As a result, it was found that people who drink 6 or more cups of coffee a day have a 53% increased risk of dementia.

'Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, consuming over 9 billion kilograms annually, so it's important to understand the relationship between coffee and health,' said Kitty Pham, who led the study. 'It's important.' 'This study is a broad study of coffee and brain volume measurements, dementia risk, stroke risk, etc., and is also one of the largest studies examining brain volume measurement data and various interrelated factors.' Stated.



According to Pham, drinking large amounts of coffee was associated with reduced brain volume, even considering all possible factors. Basically, people who drink more than 6 cups of coffee a day are at high risk of brain diseases such as dementia and stroke. Dementia is a degeneration of the brain that affects memory, thinking, behavior, and daily tasks, and is said to affect

50 million people worldwide. On the other hand, stroke is a condition in which blood flow to the brain is obstructed and oxygen is insufficient, resulting in damage to the brain or loss of function. It is said that a person has a stroke once in his / her life. According to the World Stroke Organization , there are 13.7 million people who suffer strokes annually, resulting in 5.5 million deaths.

Dr. Elina Hyppönen of the University of South Australia said, 'This study shows important insights into coffee mass consumption and brain health. Like many things in life, it's the'moderate amount'.' I did.



The mechanism by which large amounts of coffee consumption adversely affect the brain is unknown at the time of writing, but the research team recommends 'drinking water with coffee.' He added that the standard daily coffee consumption is around one or two cups, and if you drink more than six cups of coffee on a daily basis, you should rethink your drink options.
