Is coffee drinking associated with reduced all-cause mortality?
Date of publication of the systematic review: May 2015
Design
Systematic review of 17 prospective cohort studies.
Participants
A total of 1,054,571 healthy participants (age range: 20-79 years, overall male %: not reported).
Intervention
Coffee drinking with 1-2 cups, 3-4 cups or ≥5 cups per day.
Comparator
Comparison 1: Coffee drinking with 1-2 cups per day versus not/occasional drinking;
Comparison 2: Coffee drinking with 3-4 cups per day versus not/occasional drinking;
Comparison 3: Coffee drinking with ≥5 cups per day versus not/occasional drinking.
Comparison 2: Coffee drinking with 3-4 cups per day versus not/occasional drinking;
Comparison 3: Coffee drinking with ≥5 cups per day versus not/occasional drinking.
Major Outcomes
Outcome 1: All-cause mortality.
Settings
The reviewers did not state whether the study was conducted in in-patient or out-patient settings.
Comparison Coffee drinking with 1-2 cups per day versus not/occasional drinking
Main Results
Compared to non/occasional drinkers, people who drink 1-2 cups of coffee per day have significantly lower risk of death (pooled risk ratio (RR): 0.89, 95% CI: 0.85 to 0.93) from all causes.

Comparison Coffee drinking with 3-4 cups per day versus not/occasional drinking
Main Results
Compared to non/occasional drinkers, people who drink 3-4 cups of coffee per day have significantly lower risk of death (pooled risk ratio (RR): 0.87, 95% CI: 0.83 to 0.91) from all causes.

Comparison Coffee drinking with ≥5 cups per day versus not/occasional drinking
Main Results
Compared to non/occasional drinkers, people who drink ≥5 cups of coffee per day have significantly lower risk of death (pooled risk ratio (RR): 0.90, 95% CI: 0.87 to 0.94) from all causes.

Conclusion
Benefits
Compared to non/occasional drinker, people who drink 1-≥5 cups of coffee per day have significantly lower risk of death from all causes.
For all outcome, the overall quality of evidence is low. Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in this estimate of effect.
Harms
No adverse events were reported.
