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.
