> higher caffeinated coffee intake was significantly associated with lower dementia risk (141 vs 330 cases per 100 000 person-years comparing the fourth [highest] quartile of consumption with the first [lowest] quartile; hazard ratio, 0.82 [95% CI, 0.76 to 0.89])
Doing lots of cognition heavy tasks also seems to correlate with lower dementia risk; Basicly the premise of "brain workout" apps. Thought I think if you're going to be doing brain exercises, that time would be better spent learning a new langauge or learning math or physics or art.
Incidently, People who study or do a lot of thinking heavy deep work also tend to be coffee addicts. coincidence?
> The most pronounced associated differences were observed with intake of approximately 2 to 3 cups per day of caffeinated coffee or 1 to 2 cups per day of tea.
Weird, tea is supposed to have half the caffeine of coffee.

That's a very big difference.

I wonder if this translates to other stimulant use like amphetamines.
The positive effect may be negated by hypertension induced by said stimulants, which would then lead to organic dementias.
So a 100% reduction in risk? Or is it 50% reduction in risk.

Both coffee and tea have thousands of other constituent parts which could play a role.
The decaffeination process also removes more parts than just the caffeine.
