Das Trinken von mehr als 5 Tassen koffeinhaltigen Kaffee pro Tag ist bei Menschen mit Vorhofflimmern mit einer besseren kognitiven Leistung verbunden als das Trinken von weniger als 1 Tasse oder das Vermeiden von Kaffee. Starke Kaffeetrinker waren im kognitiven Alter schätzungsweise 6,7 Jahre jünger als diejenigen, die wenig oder keinen Kaffee tranken.

I’ve linked to the press release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

From the linked article:
Drinking coffee may help prevent mental decline in people with atrial fibrillation
Having up to or more than five cups of coffee daily may help cognitive function in people with the irregular heart rhythm, finds a new study in the Journal of the American Heart Association
Research Highlights:
– A study of more than 2,400 people with atrial fibrillation, who had an average age of 73, found that drinking more than five cups of caffeinated coffee daily was associated with better performance on an array of cognitive tests than drinking less than one cup or avoiding coffee altogether.
– Based on screening tests for cognitive impairment, heavier coffee drinkers were estimated to be 6.7 years younger in cognitive age than those who drank little or no coffee.
– People with atrial fibrillation are at increased risk for mental decline. This study indicates that current coffee drinkers with atrial fibrillation should not be discouraged from drinking coffee and might benefit from it.
I’ll be the one here stating the obvious thing that too many people barely even drink 5 cups of water a day
And then there are folks like me with insomnia that can’t sleep if they let their single tea of the day steep for an extra minute.
I used to be able to handle this much daily coffee in grad school, but those were dark days.
I assume that important part is how much caffeine one consumes? So 5 double espresso probably have more effect than 5 Americano?
5 or more cups of coffee a day? Coffee wakes your body up, so I wonder what the result were when the drinkers did not drink during the testing day.
How do they sleep?5 cups of coffee a day sounds crazy
Dang, I’ve been coffee free for a month.
Who paid for this study?
Yes, yes, make me feel better about my Red Bull Zero addiction. Taurine, god’s nectar. Coffeine 6.7 years younger. Cyanocobalamin instead of bioactive Vitamin B12 breaking down into cyanide sounds nasty? Nah it’s just uncoupling your Mitochondria respiration.
Why when these things are done do they not also test with non caffeinated. Like is it the caffeine or the coffee
So my caffeine addiction that leaves me with a massive headache if I don’t have at least one cup of coffee is actually a good thing?
Makes me suspicious about this coming out right before a new administration rolls out new tariffs that will likely raise coffee prices (and everything else).

So is this true also for people who don’t have A-fib??
>Drinking more than 5 cups of caffeinated coffee daily associated with better cognitive performance than drinking less than 1 cup or avoiding coffee in people with atrial fibrillation.
Hmmm are these people who have atrial fibrillation because of the 5 cups of caffeine in the system every day?
So apparently we should all be drinking lots of coffee and playing lots of video games to keep our minds young. Amazing!
I must have super enhanced cognitive performance then
Study was sponsored by the Caffeine Federation of Big Caffeine Growers
…among people with afib who have not died from related complications, for example, afib aggravated by excessive caffeine consumption.
Anecdotally speaking, I was able to fix my sleep by quitting coffee. I also noticed that digesting my food more slowly (not having to sprint to the bathroom after drinking coffee) eliminated light headedness and electrolyte imbalances for me. Wish I tolerated it better because I like the morning energy jolt.
