Coffee drinkers have a lower incidence of type 2 diabetes.
At present, obesity is defined by body mass index, that is, weight (in kilograms) divided by height (in meters) squared. A person with a body mass index above 25 and below 30 is overweight. People with a body mass index of 30 or more are obese. People with a body mass index of 40 or more have a 15-fold increase in the risk of type 2 diabetes. Abdominal obesity is defined as waist circumference > 100 cm in men, > 88 cm in women or waist-to-hip ratio > 0.9, which is the biggest risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
Most people with type 2 diabetes are obese, and their body fat content is increasing even if their body mass index is in the normal range. Long-term obesity will further increase the risk of diabetes, so early weight control is important. Many patients with type 2 diabetes have a family history of immediate family members. An extreme example has been found in Pima Indians on the Gila River reservation in Arizona, where 50% of adults have type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes now affects 17 million Americans, and the incidence of the disease is still growing. Prevention of type 2 diabetes has now attracted the attention of young people and people between the ages of 30 and 40.
A large number of recent trials have shown that coffee drinkers have a lower incidence of type 2 diabetes. Although the ingredients and mechanisms that cause this effect are unclear, studies have shown that decaffeinated coffee has the same effect. Many compounds in coffee may have these effects, such as zinc, caffeine, especially chlorogenic acid.
Drinking coffee can also reduce the risk of chronic liver disease. Because of its antioxidant activity (protecting liver cells) and promoting bile flow (reducing the severity of liver disease), coffee can replace other drinks that are bad for the body. Public health scientists at Osaka University in Japan and the Department of Social and Environmental Health at Osaka City University believe that as alternative drinks, drinking green tea, coffee and caffeinated drinks is negatively associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes. Low-calorie, low-fat drinks like coffee are more suitable for people with diabetes.
