Study Notes

"Pick Me Up" and "Perk You Up"

"Pick me up" refers to something that increases your energy or mood.
"Perk you up" is similar to "pick me up" but only focuses on energy and alertness.
“Pick me up” is a noun and a verb, but “perk me up” is only a verb.

Caffeine Intake

"Intake" refers to how much caffeine you consume.
"Consumption" is the more common and easily understood term.

Cardio Metabolic Multi-morbidity (CM)

CM refers to the coexistence of at least two cardio metabolic diseases like coronary heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
The term is difficult to pronounce.
It is typically abbreviated as "CM" for ease of use.

UK Biobank

The UK Biobank is a large biomedical database and research resource that follows people long-term.

"At The Outset"

"At the outset" means at the very beginning, like when people joined the UK Biobank.

Self-Reported Caffeine Consumption

"Self-reported" means that participants provide information about their caffeine intake.
This information is not necessarily accurate because participants could be lying.

Results of the Study

The study found that people who consumed 3 cups of coffee or tea per day had a 48.1% lower risk of developing CM compared to people who drank less than 1 cup.
Moderate caffeine intake, about 200-300 milligrams daily, was also associated with a lower CM risk.

Methodology and Existing Data

The methodology used in the study is deemed strong.
The study's results align with existing data on caffeine and heart health.

The Extent of the Connection

The study suggests a link between caffeine consumption and a reduced risk of CM.
However, the exact extent of the connection, or how strong the link is, needs further exploration.
Other factors, such as diet and physical activity, need to be considered.

"To An Extent"

This expression is used to limit the scope of a statement.
It indicates partial agreement or acceptance.

Comfort for Coffee and Tea Lovers

The study provides comfort to people who already have a coffee or tea habit.
It suggests that their caffeine consumption may offer some protection against certain diseases.

"Provide Comfort" and Other Alternatives

"Provide comfort" means to make someone feel good.
Other similar expressions include:
- “Bring comfort”
- “Make you feel good”
- “Make you feel better”
- “Provide reassurance”
- “Provide relief”

"To Consume"

"Consume" is a verb that can be used to refer to the act of drinking or eating something.
It is often used in a more formal or technical context compared to “drink” or “have.”

“Perhaps” vs. “Maybe”

"Perhaps" is a formal synonym for "maybe."
Both can be used in everyday speech; however, “perhaps” is often considered slightly more formal which makes it more appropriate for writing.

"Drink, Drank, Drunk"

“Drink” is the base form of the verb.
“Drank” is the past tense of the verb.
“Drunk” is the past participle.
It is common to use “have” instead of “drunk” in everyday speech (e.g., "I've already had 3 cups today").### Caffeine Consumption and Heart Health
Participants' caffeine consumption was self-reported through their daily intake of coffee, black tea, or green tea.
The study utilized primary care data, hospital records, and death certificates to evaluate the development of Coronary Microvascular Disease (CMD).
Participants who consumed three cups of coffee per day exhibited a 48.1% reduction in CMD risk.
Consuming 200 to 300 milligrams of caffeine daily resulted in a 40.7% reduction in CMD risk.
These reductions in risk were observed when compared to individuals who consumed minimal or no caffeine.
The methodology employed in the study is considered robust and aligns with existing research on caffeine and heart health.
Further research is required to fully comprehend the relationship between caffeine consumption and heart health.
Lifestyle factors, such as dietary habits and physical activity levels, might influence the observed association.
The findings offer reassurance to individuals who already enjoy coffee or tea, but do not necessarily advocate for initiating a regular caffeine regimen.
