Such were the results revealed by the first federal National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Epidemiologic Follow-up Study.
According to John Kassotis, MD, associate professor of medicine at SUNY Downstate:
"The protection against death from heart disease in the elderly afforded by caffeine is likely due to caffeine's enhancement of blood pressure."
Also the protective effect was found to be dose-responsive: the higher the caffeine intake, the higher the protection and was found only in study participants who were not severely hypertensive.
However, such protective effects were not found in participants below age 65.
