Line graph titled 'Incident dementia' shows hazard ratio (95% CI) vs. caffeinated coffee intake. The curve starts at 1.0, declines until about 3 c/d intake, then slightly rises. Intake c/d ranges from 0 to >5. No. of cases and person-years are also provided.
Moderate consumption of caffeinated coffee or tea was linked to reduced #dementia risk and modest improvements in cognitive outcomes; no benefit was seen for decaffeinated coffee in an observational study of US adults.
