Coffee, A linear Association to Reduced Risk and Progression of Parkinson's Disease

Intake of coffee caffeine regularly is associated with a significantly attenuated risk of neurodegenerative conditions, particularly in the onset of Parkinson's diseases, a recent study suggested.

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease caused by a deficiency of the dopamine and.degeneration of the basal ganglia of the brain, affecting muscular normal function.

Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

According to the Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, in a compared the population comprised 47,351 men and 88,565 women free of Parkinson's disease, stroke, or cancer at baseline, caffeine intake is associated to reduced risk and progression of PD, in compared the top and bottom one-fifth men participants. No effect is found for decaffeinating coffee intake regardless of the number of cups consumed.


Interestingly, among women, numbers of caffeinated coffee intake daily have a strong implication in the attenuated risk of PD linearly, in comparison to the lowest intake of moderated intake groups.


Furthermore, a case-control study conducted in western Washington State in 1992-2000. Incident PD cases (n = 210) and controls (n = 347) with frequency matched on gender and age identified from enrollees of the Group Health Cooperative health maintenance organization, returned questionnaires by participants indicated, consumption of 2 cups/day showed a strong expression in reduced risk of PD.

More importantly, in the review of twenty-six studies included: 7 cohorts, 2 nested case-control, 16 case-control, and 1 cross-sectional study, the total relative odd ratio for the association between caffeine intake in low to moderate groups and PD was 0.75.

But, in cohort studies, reduced risk of PD significantly decreased if only women participants were considered.

Researchers, at the above study, revealed that PD risk is associated with a linear relationship between levels of caffeine exposure of relative odd ratio of 0.76, per 300 mg caffeine intake.

Taking together, there is no doubt that the risk of PD has an extremely inverse association with caffeine intake, particularly in moderated drinkers.
