Coffee Drinkers Had Healthier-Looking Livers
UK Biobank data link coffee intake with lower rates of major liver outcomes and more favorable imaging and protein markers.
Summary
UK Biobank data link coffee intake with lower rates of major liver outcomes and more favorable imaging and protein markers.
An analysis of UK Biobank participants associated coffee consumption with lower incidence of cirrhosis, liver cancer and liver-related death, alongside more favorable liver imaging and proteomic markers. The convergence across outcomes strengthens the observation, but the study remains observational and cannot show that coffee itself caused the differences or prescribe a dose.
Why it matters
UK Biobank data link coffee intake with lower rates of major liver outcomes and more favorable imaging and protein markers.
Limits and context
- The convergence across outcomes strengthens the observation, but the study remains observational and cannot show that coffee itself caused the differences or prescribe a dose.
Key claims
