“…Other studies have argued that the stimulation increases the detection of tinnitus through increased arousal or anxiety [ 41 ]. Caffeine in coffee is known to have deleterious effects on sleep [ 42 , 43 ] and it can aggravate tinnitus-associated distress [ 44 ]. However, one study reported that stopping caffeine intake does not improve tinnitus symptoms [ 29 ].…”

Coffee is the one of the most common beverages worldwide and has received considerable attention for its beneficial health effects. However, the association of coffee with hearing and tinnitus has not been well studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of coffee with hearing and tinnitus based on a national population-based survey. We evaluated hearing and tinnitus data from the 2009–2012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and their relationship with a coffee consumption survey. All patients underwent a medical interview, physical examination, hearing test, tinnitus questionnaire and nutrition examination. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the associations between coffee and hearing loss or tinnitus. We evaluated 13,448 participants (≥19 years) participants. The frequency of coffee consumption had a statistically significant inverse correlation with bilateral hearing loss in the 40–64 years age group. Daily coffee consumers had 50–70% less hearing loss than rare coffee consumers, which tended to be a dose-dependent relationship. In addition, the frequency of coffee consumption had an inverse correlation with tinnitus in the 19–64 years age group but its association was related with hearing. Brewed coffee had more of an association than instant or canned coffee in the 40–64 years age group. These results suggest a protective effect of coffee on hearing loss and tinnitus.

“…Evidence is emerging that the socio-demographic and lifestyle factors may play a role in sleep disorders among older adults. For instance, female gender, low education, divorce and widowhood, living alone, inadequate fruit intake, drinking tea, alcohol consumption, caffeine, use of certain medications, poor mental health, and physical inactivity have been reported to be associated with sleep disturbance [5,6,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. In addition, poor sleep quality or sleep disorders in old people are associated with highly prevalent chronic health conditions, such as hypertension [21], type 2 diabetes [22], cardiovascular disease [23], stroke [24], depression [25], and cognitive impairment [26].…”

Prevalence and associated factors of poor sleep quality among Chinese older adults living in a rural area: a population-based study

et al. 2019

Objective To investigate the prevalence and associated factors of poor sleep quality among community-dwelling elderly population in a rural area of Northern China. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey in August-December 2014 and recruited 2195 participants who were aged 65 years or older and living in Yanlou Town of Yanggu County in western Shandong Province, China. Data on demographics, health-related behaviors, and clinical conditions were collected through structured interviews. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess the sleep quality and patterns. Poor sleep quality was defined as a PSQI score > 7. We employed multiple logistic models to relate poor sleep quality to various factors. Results The overall prevalence rates of poor sleep quality were 33.8% in the total sample, 39.2% in women and 26.3% in men (P < 0.01). The most common abnormal sleep domains were prolonged sleep latency (39.7%), decreased sleep duration (31.0%), and reduced habitual sleep efficiency (28.8%). Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that poor sleep quality was significantly associated with female sex (OR = 1.76, 95% CI 1.46-2.12) and clinical comorbidities such as hypertension (OR = 1.28, 95% CI 1.06-1.54), coronary heart disease (OR = 1.60, 95% CI 1.27-2.00), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR = 1.82, 95% CI 1.34-2.49). Conclusions The sleep disorders were highly prevalent among the elderly in rural China. Modifiable risk factors such as cardiometabolic risk factors and disorders were associated with poor sleep quality, which might be potential targets for interventions to improve sleep quality in elderly population.

“…In a few experimental studies, caffeine showed a positive impact on the course of multiple sclerosis rather than affecting the development of the disease. On the other hand, no such benefits were observed in clinical and experimental studies on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [50]. Other than this, there are many more benefits of coffee seen that include a better prognosis of patients with traumatic brain injury.…”

“…Many people take coffee to drive sleep away and to prevent the drowsiness associated with the postprandial alkaline tide. A study by George et al states that there is no clear evidence of caffeine consumption with sleep problems; however, a more recent study found that high lifetime coffee consumption decreases the overall pineal gland volume and this might disturb the quality of sleep later on in life [12,50]. In the management of many cases, coffee is to be avoided in the evening for people with sleep problems.…”

Coffee and its components have several neuroprotective properties that lower the risk of cognitive decline and other neurodegenerative diseases. This study reviews the mechanisms by which coffee and its respective compounds affect the brain and its pathologies. Many epidemiological studies in this literature review have shown coffee to reduce the risk of developing dementia, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. It may also have a positive impact on the disease course of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and depression. The optimal benefits achieved from coffee in these pathologies rely on higher daily doses. Most of its effects are attributed to caffeine by the antagonism of adenosine receptors in the central nervous system; however, other coffee constituents like chlorogenic acids have also shown much promise in therapeutic value. Existing research considers coffee to have great potential, but additional studies are still needed to clarify the mechanisms and actual causal relationships in certain neuropathologies.

Lifetime coffee consumption, pineal gland volume, and sleep quality in late life

Abstract: Our findings suggest that high lifetime coffee consumption may reduce VPP, and that this reduction in VPP may impair the quality of sleep in late life.
