Ghavami HS, Khoshtinat M, Sadeghi-Farah S, et al. - In this cross-sectional study, researchers explored the association between coffee consumption and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in the elderly with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This investigation was conducted on 300 elderly people over the age of 60 with T2DM in Isfahan, Iran, in 2017. Using a food frequency questionnaire, the dietary assessment was performed. Coffee consumption was divided into three categories: < 1, 1–3, and > 3 cups/day. Data reported that the mean age and BMI of candidates were 70.04 ± 4.87 years and 24.74 ± 3.34 kg/m ² respectively. In the elderly with T2DM, increasing coffee consumption was associated with the improved status of some CVD risk factors such as fasting plasma glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and diastolic blood pressure. Increasing coffee consumption, however, was associated with higher triglyceride levels and had no effect on other risk factors.
