Coffee in Reducing the risk of Respiratory Diseases?

Intake of coffee and coffee caffeine may have a potential effect in reduced risk and progression of respiratory disease, a renowned university study suggested.

Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

Respiratory disease is a class of diseases involved abnormal lung function including conditions of the upper trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, pleura, and pleural cavity,...


In a review of 15 studies, including seven cohorts, six cross-sectionals, one case-control, and one randomized control trial, researchers at the joint study lead by the University of Coimbra, filed the below interesting results1. Risk of asthma was reduced in coffee injection group.
2. Coffee accompanied with honey displayed a positive effect in treatment for persistent post-infectious cough.
3. In a controlled study, the higher the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) prevalence was associated with coffee consumption.4. Coffee was also found to associate with lower respiratory mortality.
5. Coffee injection group also benefit to improved lung function
6. Smoking was a significant risk factor in all cases.

With all the information collected, Dr. Alfaro TM, the lead authors proposed, "Coffee consumption was associated with some positive effects on the respiratory system" and "coffee consumption may be a part of a healthy lifestyle leading to reduced respiratory morbidity."

Other, in the study filed by the CHU de Nancy, coffee consumption showed a contradictory effect involving respiratory diseases.
1. Coffee intake showed a beneficial effect on bronchospasm.
2. But on other studies, coffee intake has been suspected of contributing to the development of chronic airflow obstruction (COPD) and bronchial cancer.

The study explained these contrastive results may be attributed to the causal relationship in indirectly linking a strong positive correlation between the consumption of coffee and the use of tobacco.


The author also warned that coffee taken in large quantities by pregnant women may increase the risk of neonatal apnoea in the newborn if abrupt cessation in the caffeine level.

Also in the comparison of the prenatal exposure to acetaminophen and coffee with childhood asthma, researchers found that intake of coffee during pregnancy showed a strong effect in reduced risk of childhood asthma, according to the 63,652 live-born singletons enrolled in the Danish National Birth Cohort.

Taking together, coffee intake has strong protection against respiratory diseases(including reduced risk of childhood asthma), but increased incidences of chronic airflow obstruction (COPD), and bronchial cancer, therefore, people with the above exceptive disease should reduce intake of coffee and consult with their doctors.
