Timing of Coffee Intake Modifies Mortality Risk in Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome: A Cohort and Experimental Study.

FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology · Jun 8, 2026Open study
Direction: PositiveIndex impact +17

Auto-draft (SemanticScholar): abstract suggests a favorable signal. The association between the timing of coffee consumption and mortality risk among individuals with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome remains unclear.

Limitations: Auto-generated from abstract only. Review full paper for confounding, population characteristics, endpoint definitions, and study design before publishing.

Association of coffee consumption with diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes mellitus

International Journal of Cardiology. Cardiovascular Risk and Prevention · Mar 27, 2026Open study
Direction: PositiveIndex impact +3

NHANES cross-sectional study of 6,311 women found that higher caffeinated coffee intake was associated with 20-27% lower diabetes mellitus risk (ORs 0.73-0.80) with a dose-response, while no significant association was found with gestational diabetes mellitus.

Limitations: Cross-sectional design cannot establish causality; women-only sample; confounding by diet quality and lifestyle is possible.
