Coffee and caffeine consumption in women affected by hypertension

Journal of Human Hypertension volume 32, pages 463–464 (2018)Cite this article

Subjects

Dear Editor,

We have read with great interest the paper “Coffee consumption and risk of hypertension: a systematic review and dose–response meta-analysis of cohort studies” by Xie et al. [1] and we found their conclusion of importance with a view to clinical prevention. Authors concluded that their meta-analysis provides quantitative evidence that consumption of coffee was inversely associated with the risk of hypertension in a dose–response manner.
