Abstract
A positive association between coffee consumption and acute myocardial infarction was confirmed by analyses of data from a multipurpose survey of 12,759 hospitalized patients, including 440 with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. As compared with those who drink no coffee, the risks of infarction among those drinking one to five and six or more cups of coffee per day are estimated to be increased by 60 and 120 per cent, respectively. This association could not be attributed to confounding by age, sex, past coronary heart disease, hypertension, congestive heart failure, obesity, diabetes, smoking or occupation, nor could it be explained by the use of sugar with coffee. There was no positive association between tea drinking and acute myocardial infarction. (N Engl J Med 289:63–67, 1973)Keywords
