![]() ![]() Since the publication of these meta-analyses, 10 additional prospective studies on the association between coffee consumption and diabetes have been published ( 6, 8, 10, 12, 18– 23).Ī key issue that remains to be resolved is whether consumption of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee is similarly associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes. ( 15) included 18 prospective studies and found an inverse monotonous association between the number of cups of coffee consumed and diabetes risk, but they double-counted data from the same cohort ( 16, 17). van Dam and Hu ( 14) included nine cohort studies and reported a lower risk of type 2 diabetes for high coffee consumption compared with no coffee consumption with little between-study heterogeneity. Two previous meta-analyses of coffee consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes have been published. In subsequent years, this finding has been confirmed in most ( 4– 10) but not all ( 11– 13) studies. ![]() An inverse association between coffee consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes was first reported in a Dutch population ( 3). Given its significant burden, identifying modifiable lifestyle factors is imperative for the prevention of diabetes.Ĭoffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages around the world thus, investigating its association with various diseases has important public health implications. Furthermore, those with type 2 diabetes have a two to five times higher risk of myocardial infarction and two to three times higher risk of stroke ( 2). The risk of blindness, renal disease, and amputation among those with type 2 diabetes is 20 to 40 times higher than that of people without diabetes. The worldwide prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing, and the global number of people with diabetes is estimated to reach 366 million by the year 2030 ( 1). Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease with high rates of morbidity and mortality. ![]()
