A large new study has found that drinking two to three cups of coffee a day or one to two cups of tea was associated with reduced dementia risk, slower cognitive decline, and better preserved brain function.
The research, published in JAMA, was led by scientists from Mass General Brigham, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and analyzed data from 131,821 participants tracked for decades.
Investigators examined repeated dietary surveys alongside reports of dementia, subjective cognitive decline, and performance on cognitive tests, with follow-up periods stretching as long as 43 years. They then compared outcomes among people who consumed caffeinated coffee, tea, or decaffeinated coffee.
