Association between the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and coffee consumption among Korean adults: results from the Health Examinees study

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the frequency and quantity of coffee consumption and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the Health Examinees study. A total of 130 420 participants (43 682 men and 86 738 women) were included in our study. Coffee consumption was categorized into 5 categories (0, <1, 1, 2–3, and ≥4 cups/day). We calculated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervalS (CIs) using multivariate logistic regression. In this study population, the prevalence of MetS was 12 701 (29.1%) in men and 21 338 (24.6%) in women. High coffee consumption (≥4 cups/day) was associated with a lower prevalence of MetS compared with non-coffee consumers (OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.70–0.90, p for trend <0.0001 in men; OR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.62–0.78, p for trend <0.0001 in women). The multivariable-adjusted ORs for high fasting glucose decreased with increasing levels of coffee consumption in men (OR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.54–0.67, p for trend <0.0001) and women (OR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.63–0.79, p for trend <0.0001). For women, the multivariable-adjusted ORs for hypertriglyceridemia (OR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.75–0.93, p for trend = 0.0007) decreased with increasing levels of coffee consumption. We found that coffee consumption was inversely associated with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among Korean men and women. Our study warrants further prospective cohort studies.

Metabolic syndrome and lifestyle factors among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Dessie Referral Hospital, Amhara region, Ethiopia

“…In this study, coffee consumption had a significant negative association with MetS. This finding was supported by the findings from the general population, even-though finding among T2DM was not accessed [ 37 , 38 ]. Similarly, epidemiological reviews concluded that coffee consumption protects from MetS [ 39 , 40 ].…”

“…Ninety-six articles were additionally excluded because of the following reasons: inappropriate exposure and/or outcome (n=62), unrelated methodology (n=14), unrelated population (n=6), and overlapping study population (n=14).

Prevention and Management of Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome in the Time of COVID-19: Should We Add a Cup of Coffee?

“…In line with described antidiabetic effects of tea polyphenols, a recent study performed in about 130.000 Korean adults found that increased coffee consumption (more than four cups per day) was associated with a lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome, as compared to non-coffee consumers ( 96 ). Another recent study also performed in Korean populations demonstrated that moderate to high coffee intake is inversely associated with the metabolic syndrome ( 97 ).…”
