A study has found that drinking coffee can reduce the risk of death due to a sedentary lifestyle.
The results of a study investigating the impact of inactive lifestyle and coffee consumption on the risk of death were published in the BMC Public Health.
Staying active for a sufficient time each day is essential for a healthy life. According to the American Heart Association, engaging in breath-taking exercise for over 150 minutes weekly is good for heart health.
Previous research has indicated that a sedentary lifestyle significantly raises the risk of developing several health issues, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity, osteoporosis, and cancer. It also increases the likelihood of mortality from these conditions.
Chinese researchers analyzed the health data of over 17,000 individuals from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted in the United States between 2007 and 2018. They investigated the impact of sitting time and coffee consumption on the risk of death from all causes and cardiovascular diseases.
The study found that those who sit for less than 4 hours a day had a lower risk of death from all causes and heart diseases compared to those who sit for more than 8 hours.
However, when considering coffee ingestion, those who drank more coffee had a lower chance of death from all causes and cardiovascular diseases compared to those who did not drink coffee.
Moreover, individuals who sit for more than 6 hours a day and do not drink coffee had a 1.6 times higher risk of death from all causes compared to those who sit for less than 6 hours a day and drink coffee.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that coffee consumption can partially reduce the risk of death due to a sedentary lifestyle.
