Epidemiological evidence suggested that lifestyle factors may affect the health and lifespan of an individual through the expression of telomere length.
And intake of coffee daily and moderately may be one of them
Coffee, second to tea consumption, is a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, made from roasted beans from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar
Intake of coffee may have a profound effect in strengthening the telomere length, a biomarker of living longer, a renowned study suggested.
In a cross-sectional association between coffee consumption and telomere length in 4780 women, using the data from the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) from a prospective cohort study of female nurses began in 1976 with relative telomere length measured in peripheral blood leukocytes by the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, after adjusting to other risk factors, researchers found that
* Higher total coffee use was significantly associated with longer telomeres compared to nondrinkers
* Intake of 2 to <3 and ≥3 cups of coffee/d showed a relative ratio of 1.29 and 1.36, respectively
* Telomere length was associated linearly with caffeine consumption from all dietary sources
The result of the findings showed a strong indication of a correlation between coffee caffeine intake and the length of telomeres among female nurses.
Dr. Liu JJ, the lead author said, “ ... better understand the influence of coffee consumption on telomeres, which may uncover new knowledge of how coffee consumption affects health and longevity”.
Other, in a study of a total of 5826 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cross-sectionally, using the quantitative polymerase chain reaction method, telomere length compared to standard reference DNA, after adjusting to other risk factors, including age, gender, race, marital status, education, housing, smoking, BMI, physical activity, alcohol use,.. researchers showed that
* Caffeine consumption was inversely related to telomere length
* For each 100 mg of caffeine consumed, telomeres were 35.4 base pairs shorter
* For each 100 mg of caffeine consumed among coffee drinkers only, telomeres were 36.7 base pairs shorter
* Among non-coffee drinkers only, 40.0 base pairs shorter
Compared to non-drinker (40.0 base pairs shorter), coffee caffeine( 36.7 base pairs shorter) and caffeine( 35.4 base pairs shorter) intake expressed a positive effect in increased genetic telomeres length.
Taking it all together, coffee (regardless caffeinated or not and the number of cups intake per day) expressed a significant effect in increased telomeres length, the DNA implication of living longer in both genders.
