The analyses of the relation between osteoporosis and coffee/green tea/soda drink intake: A cross-sectional study using KoGES HEXA data

Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between coffee, green tea, and soda drink intake and the risk of osteoporosis using data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES). Methodology: Data for patients with osteoporosis (n=11,484) and controls (n=156,320) were extracted using a national cohort study with KoGES Health Examiner (HEXA) data of participants over 40 years of age. We then analyzed the history of coffee/green tea/soda drink intake frequency at baseline from 2004 to 2013 and follow-up data from 2012 to 2016. Results: Regardless of the frequency of coffee intake, coffee intake showed lower odds ratios (ORs) for osteoporosis compared to the non-intake group, but not green tea and soda drink intake did not. According to the subgroup analysis by age and sex, coffee intake showed a lower ORs for osteoporosis in the both group of women age < 53 years of age and ≥ 53 years of age regardless of the frequency of coffee intake. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study was that coffee intake was associated with lower incidence of osteoporosis in Korean women over 40 years of age, regardless of age.
