Analysis of the relationship between coffee consumption and metabolic syndrome
Increased blood HDL cholesterol levels
Neutral fat levels are relatively low
A study found that adult women who drink two to three cups of black coffee a day can reduce their risk of developing metabolic syndrome by 34%. After consuming coffee, the level of HDL cholesterol in the blood, which is beneficial for blood vessel health, increased, and the level of triglycerides in the blood decreased.
According to the Korea Food Communication Forum (KOFRUM), Professor Je Yu-jin’s team from the Department of Food and Nutrition at Kyung Hee University analyzed the relationship between coffee consumption and metabolic syndrome in 14,631 adults aged 19 to 64 who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Survey from 2016 to 2021. The results of this study were published in the latest issue of the ‘European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (EJCN)’.
My research team used a 24-hour dietary recall method to evaluate the diet, including the type and amount of coffee consumed. Based on the daily black coffee consumption, the research participants were divided into four groups: no coffee, 1 cup or less per day, 2-3 cups per day, and more than 3 cups per day, and the risk of developing metabolic syndrome was compared between the groups.
Women who drank 2 to 3 cups of black coffee a day had a 34% lower risk of metabolic syndrome than women who did not drink coffee. Women who drank 3 or fewer cups of black coffee a day had relatively higher blood HDL cholesterol levels, but relatively lower blood triglyceride levels. In men, there was no significant relationship between coffee consumption and metabolic syndrome.
My professor team said in the paper, “The conclusion of the study is that if adult women drink 2-3 cups of black coffee a day in moderation, the risk of metabolic syndrome is lowered,” and “This may be due to the positive effects of coffee on HDL cholesterol and neutral fat.”
There have been previous studies showing that coffee can help prevent metabolic syndrome in Koreans. According to a research paper titled “The Relationship Between Coffee Consumption Patterns and the Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in Korean Adults” published in December 2019 in the journal Nutrients by Professor Shin Sang-ah’s team from the Department of Food and Nutrition at Chung-Ang University, not only black coffee but also bagged coffee (containing coffee mix, sugar, and coffee mate) showed a lower risk of metabolic syndrome.
In a study by Professor Shin’s team on 14,132 people, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 18% lower in women who drank bagged coffee. Women who enjoyed bagged coffee had lower neutral fat levels and higher HDL cholesterol levels.
