Abstract

OBJECTIVE—The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between coffee intake and incident diabetes based on an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and examine coffee habits in those with impaired glucose separately from those with normal glucose at baseline.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—In this prospective study, 910 adults aged ≥50 years without diabetes at baseline in 1984–1987 were followed to 1992–1996, an average of 8 years after assessment of coffee intake. Logistic regression models were adjusted for sex, age, physical activity, BMI, smoking, alcohol, hypertension, and baseline fasting plasma glucose.

RESULTS—Past and current coffee drinkers had a reduced risk of incident diabetes (odds ratio 0.38 [95% CI 0.17–0.87] and 0.36 [0.19–0.68], respectively) compared with those who never drank coffee. The 317 participants with baseline impaired glucose who were past or current coffee drinkers were also at reduced risk for incident diabetes (0.31 [0.11–0.87] and 0.36 [0.16–0.83], respectively).

CONCLUSIONS—This study confirms a striking protective effect of caffeinated coffee against incident diabetes and extends these findings to incident diabetes based on OGTT independent of multiple plausible confounders.

  • DBP, diastolic blood pressure
  • FPG, fasting plasma glucose
  • OGTT, oral glucose tolerance test
  • PCG, postchallenge glucose
  • SBP, systolic blood pressure

The prevalence of diabetes increased 33% in the U.S. between 1990 and 1999 with 7% of the population currently affected (1,2). Estimated projections are that the global prevalence of diabetes will almost double by 2030 (3). Several recently published cohort studies suggest a significant reduced risk of type 2 diabetes in coffee drinkers (4–9). As similar results have been found with decaffeinated coffee (10,11), compounds in coffee other than caffeine have been proposed as being potentially responsible for the reduced risk (12–15). With 52% of U.S. adults consuming coffee on a daily basis (16), a coffee benefit could have widespread impact on the health of the population.

Recently published articles investigating the association between coffee and type 2 diabetes, although strong in their methodology, have relied heavily on a self-reported diagnosis of diabetes, which may be more prone to misclassification or underreporting. Presently, only two studies have used an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) for the classification of type 2 diabetes at follow-up (17,18). In this study, incident diabetes was defined on the basis of its absence in history and a normal OGTT at baseline with subsequent presence based largely on a repeat OGTT. Additionally, we consider coffee habits in those with impaired glucose separately from coffee habits in those with normal glucose at baseline. Associations were adjusted for sex, age, physical activity, BMI, smoking, alcohol, hypertension, and baseline fasting plasma glucose (FPG).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—

Between 1972 and 1974, 82% of all adult residents of a predominantly white middle-class community in southern California participated in a study of heart disease risk factors: the Rancho Bernardo Study (19). Between 1984 and 1987, 2,854 participants (80% of survivors) completed a baseline diabetes evaluation (20); of these individuals, 1,115 (74% of survivors) attended a follow-up evaluation in 1992–1996. Reasons for nonparticipation were death (n = 981), institutionalization, moved out of the area, or declined to participate (n = 250). In 1992, a mailed survey obtained information on current and lifetime consumption of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee.

At each clinic visit, diagnostic and anthropometric measures along with medical, behavioral, and dietary history were obtained using identical protocols. At both the baseline and diabetes follow-up evaluation, a 75-g glucose load was administered in the morning after a 12- to 16-h fast. Blood was obtained before and 2 h after the glucose load. Fasting and 2-h postchallenge plasma glucose levels were determined by the hexokinase method in a hospital diagnostic laboratory. Height and weight were measured with participants wearing light clothing, without shoes. BMI, an estimate of obesity, was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters and categorized as underweight/normal (<25.0 kg/m2), overweight (25.0–29.9 kg/m2), or obese (≥30.0 kg/m2). A standard mercury sphygmomanometer was used to measure blood pressure after the participant had been seated for at least 5 min, in accord with the Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program protocol (21). Hypertension was classified according to the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (22). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were used to categorize participants’ blood pressure as normal (SBP <120 mmHg and DBP <80 mmHg), prehypertensive (SBP 120–139 mmHg or DBP 80–89 mmHg), or hypertensive (SBP ≥140 mmHg or DBP ≥90 mmHg). In addition, individuals taking antihypertensive medication were categorized as hypertensive.

A specially trained interviewer obtained information on sex, age, physical activity (three or more times in the last week [no/yes]), smoking status (never, past, and current), and average daily alcohol intake (none, 1–30 g, or >30 g). Individuals were questioned about their medical history including diagnosis of diabetes and past or current use of insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents. Medication use, including insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents, was confirmed by a nurse who examined pills and prescriptions brought to the clinic.

Regular coffee and decaffeinated coffee consumption were assessed separately by mail in 1992 using a self-administered questionnaire. Participants were asked about the number of cups of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee they drank per day from age 18–45 and after age 45, categorized as 0 cups, 1–2 cups, 3–4 cups, and ≥5 cups. Cup-years were estimated based on the age at which the participant began drinking coffee and the average cup consumption reported between ages 18 and 45 and after age 45. Participants were categorized based on lifetime coffee status (nondrinker, past drinker, or current drinker); those who did not drink coffee between 18 and 45 years of age and did not drink coffee after the age of 45 were considered nondrinkers. Those who drank coffee from 18 to 45 years of age but not after age 45 were classified as past drinkers, and the remainder (excluding 11 with missing data who were removed from analyses) were classified as current drinkers.

Individuals were classified as having normal glucose at baseline (FPG <6.1 mmol/l and postchallenge glucose [PCG] <7.8 mmol/l or missing PCG; n = 593) or impaired glucose at baseline. Impaired glucose was defined as either impaired fasting glucose (6.1 mmol/l ≤ FPG <7.0 mmol/l and PCG <7.8 mmol/l) or impaired glucose tolerance (FPG <6.1 and 7.8 mmol/l ≤ PCG <11.1 mmol/l).

On the basis of the 1999 World Health Organization criteria (23), individuals were classified as having type 2 diabetes if they met one of the following: FPG ≥7.0 mmol/l, PCG ≥ 11.1 mmol/l, taking oral medication for diabetes in the last 2 weeks, or having been told by a physician that they had diabetes. Because the incidence of type 2 diabetes was the focus of this investigation, those who had diabetes at baseline were excluded (n = 127). Eight individuals with missing glucose values and one individual with type 1 diabetes were also excluded.

After excluding an additional 11 individuals who were missing covariate data, there were 910 participants aged ≥50 years without diabetes at baseline who were followed for up to 11 years (mean 8.3) for incident type 2 diabetes.

This research was approved by the institutional review board of the University of California, San Diego. All participants gave written informed consent at both clinic visits before participation.

Statistical analyses

After preliminary analyses using descriptive and univariate methods, multivariable logistic regression was used to model the risk of incident type 2 diabetes in relation to coffee consumption. Covariates, selected on the basis of published literature, were assessed for collinearity. Covariates were also investigated as possible confounders before removing them from further modeling. Variables were retained in all modeling if they were associated with both coffee consumption and type 2 diabetes or their removal changed measures of association by >15%. Manual backward elimination of variables was used. Analyses were conducted separately in those with normal and impaired glucose at baseline.

Incidence was defined as the number of events identified per 100 participants over an average of 8 years. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs were computed using the Wald statistic for unconditional maximum likelihood estimation. All data analyses were performed using SAS (24).

RESULTS—

All 910 participants did not have diabetes at baseline; 593 had normal glucose and 317 had impaired glucose. The baseline fasting plasma glucose was 5.4 ± 0.6 mmol/l (mean ± SD). The average age was 65.9 ± years, 41% of the participants were male, and 85% reported physical activity three or more times per week. Fifty-seven percent were underweight or normal weight (BMI <25.0 kg/m2), and 7% were obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2). In addition, 12–13% were current smokers, more than half drank 1–30 g of alcohol (1–2 drinks) on an average day, and 44% were hypertensive (SBP ≥140 mmHg or DBP ≥90 mmHg or taking antihypertensive medication).

As shown in Table 1, at baseline, 97 participants reported never drinking coffee, 153 were past coffee drinkers, and 660 were current coffee drinkers. Current coffee drinkers were significantly more likely to report they were current smokers (P ≤ 0.01) and that they drank an average of 1–2 alcoholic drinks per day (P ≤ 0.01). Age, sex, physical activity, BMI, and hypertension did not differ significantly by coffee drinking status.

Table 2 shows that the majority of participants were current drinkers of relatively small amounts of caffeinated coffee at baseline (73%). Current caffeinated coffee drinkers drank on average 2.8 cups/day (range 1–20). Participants with normal glucose had a higher median number of cup-years compared with those who had impaired glucose at baseline (102 vs. 95, respectively), drank ≥5 cups/day (12 vs. 8%, respectively), and were current coffee drinkers (75 vs. 69%, respectively); these differences, however, were not statistically significant.

Table 3 presents baseline characteristics by incident diabetes. As shown, significantly more obese and hypertensive participants developed diabetes during the course of the study (P ≤ 0.01 and 0.04, respectively). Additionally, a proportionately higher number of participants who reported no daily alcoholic intake or who consumed an average of ≥3 drinks/day developed diabetes, compared with those who drank 1–2 drinks/day (P = 0.03).

In Table 4, the association of coffee consumption with the adjusted risk of incident diabetes is presented for all nondiabetic participants and separately for those with normal and impaired glucose at baseline. Current coffee drinking was significantly associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes in the nondiabetic population as a whole (OR 0.36 [95% CI 0.19–0.68]) and in the subgroup with impaired glucose (0.36 [0.16–0.83]) independent of multiple covariates. Past coffee drinking was associated with a similar significantly reduced risk of type 2 diabetes in the nondiabetic population (0.38 [0.17–0.87]) and in the subgroup with impaired glucose (0.31 [0.11–0.87]). Both past (0.63 [0.12–3.21]) and current coffee drinking (0.40 [0.10–1.65]) had a reduced risk of incident type 2 diabetes in those with normal glucose at baseline; however, these findings were not significant. Daily coffee consumption (0 cups, 1–2 cups, 3–4 cups, or ≥5 cups), after the age of 45 and number of cup-years, were not significantly associated with risk of type 2 diabetes in any of the groups examined. Reduced models, eliminating nonsignificant covariates, yielded similar results.

Analyses restricted to decaffeinated coffee drinkers could not be performed because only 12 participants reported consuming decaffeinated coffee exclusively. Reanalysis of these data excluding the few participants who drank only decaffeinated coffee yielded similar results (data not shown).

CONCLUSIONS—

In the present study, current or past coffee drinkers who did not have diabetes at baseline had a 60% reduced risk of type 2 diabetes during the next 8 years, when compared with those who never drank coffee. Additionally, those without diabetes who had impaired glucose at baseline were similarly protected against incident diabetes. The quantity of coffee consumed daily (cup-years) did not predict diabetes risk in either those with normal or impaired glucose at baseline.

A significant reduced risk of diabetes among coffee drinkers is consistent with other recent cohort studies (4–9). However, unlike those studies in which the diagnosis of diabetes was based on medical records or self-report, in the present study a glucose tolerance test was used. Diabetes is often undiagnosed in older adults; therefore, the results of the present study would be subject to less misclassification bias because both FPG and PCG were used to define incident diabetes.

Significant inverse associations between coffee consumption and type 2 diabetes including dose-response associations have been reported (5,6,9). The lack of a significant dose response association in the present study may be due to the older age of this population (average 66 years) relative to those in other studies and less coffee consumption by older adults (25).

Many published research articles investigating the biological explanation for the association between coffee and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes have focused on the role of caffeine with contradictory results. Small placebo-controlled trials have reported that caffeine raises blood glucose levels and contributes to insulin resistance (26,27), suggesting the potential for an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. However, another small, randomized, crossover clinical trial showed that caffeinated coffee reduced FPG (28). Additionally, research has shown that elevated glucose concentrations fall 30 min after coffee consumption (29). Although some human studies reported that catecholamine activity decreases with increased tolerance to caffeine (30), studies in mice showed that caffeine promotes the release of catecholamines and stimulates an increased metabolic rate and thermogenesis of brown adipose tissue (31), which is expected to reduce obesity. Caffeine also upregulates the expression of uncoupling protein 3 (32), which has been linked to carbohydrate metabolism and type 2 diabetes (33). Specifically, uncoupling protein 3 is lower in patients with type 2 diabetes compared with healthy control subjects (34) and inversely related to BMI (35).

Geographic differences exist with respect to the coffee bean and filtration method commonly used. Although caffeine content is similar between boiled and drip-filtered coffee (36–38), diterpene content is lower in coffee that has been drip-filtered (39). A significant protective effect of coffee consumption in a Finnish population (6) refuted an earlier report from Finland that did not find a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes associated with coffee consumption (40). In the earlier report, Finns were more likely to drink boiled coffee than drip-filtered coffee (39). Diterpenes, in particular, cafestol and kahweol, have been reported to increase serum total cholesterol levels and to be associated with higher rates of coronary heart disease in coffee drinkers from Norway (41) who, like Finns, once preferred boiled coffee. Therefore, different results in the two Finnish studies may reflect a conversion from boiled to filtered coffee. Most countries, including the U.S., use arabica coffee beans, which contain about half the caffeine of robusta coffee beans (36) primarily used in France, Italy, Portugal, and the U.K., countries with slightly lower prevalence estimates of diabetes than the U.S. (42). Studies in which caffeinated beverages other than coffee were considered showed weaker correlations with fasting glycemia than for coffee per se (43,44); however, similar inverse associations with C-peptide levels have been seen in both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee drinkers (11). Other research suggests that a reduction in risk may be due to compounds in coffee other than caffeine, including chlorogenic acid, quinides, and trigonelline (12–15).

Several potential limitations of the present study were considered. Participants were predominantly middle-class and white; results may not be applicable to other ethnicities and socioeconomic strata. Although nearly half of this older cohort died in the 8 years between baseline and follow-up, it is unlikely that survival bias explains these results as there was no significant difference in baseline coffee intake between those who did and did not participate in the follow-up visit. Coffee consumption was self-reported and may be subject to recall bias. However, validation of food frequency retrieved from questionnaires has shown strong correlation for coffee (r = 0.92) (45). Further, to simplify recall and minimize recall bias, early and late lifetime estimates were combined to create an overall lifetime coffee status (never, past, or current drinker). In addition, only estimates of intake from age ≥45 years were used for daily cup consumption comparisons. Information regarding coffee additives, other than milk, was not available. Although refuted in other reports (4,46), milk and sugar have been implicated as possible confounders (47); they were not considered here, but the added calories would have been expected to reduce, not create, a protective effect. Lastly, our study used results from a single OGTT at follow-up for the classification of incident type 2 diabetes, whereas clinical diagnosis is usually followed by a second, confirmatory OGTT. Research has shown that an OGTT is necessary to identify most older adults with impaired glucose levels and, thus, more people who will develop diabetes (48).

In summary, the present study shows a striking (60%) reduction in risk of incident type 2 diabetes in coffee drinkers, significantly for individuals with impaired glucose at baseline. These results were independent of age, sex, exercise, BMI, smoking status, daily alcohol intake, hypertension, and baseline fasting plasma glucose. Given the increasing prevalence of obesity, IGT, and diabetes, and the fact that the majority of adults in most of the Westernized world drink coffee daily, a coffee benefit could have widespread impact. Further investigation is warranted.
