Objectives: The metabolic syndrome can be improved by lifestyle modification. According to Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2005, the habitual coffee consumption occupies significant proportions of carbohydrate, fat and calorie intake. In Korea, however, few studies have investigated the effect of habitual coffee consumption on metabolic syndrome.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study in 403 subjects. We divided the participants into three groups according to the amount of daily coffee consumptions, and compared the number of metabolic syndrome patients and each component of metabolic syndrome among the groups.
Results: In the subjects, there were 51 patients who were taking anti-hypertensive and 26 patients who were taking blood glucose-lowering drugs. There was no significant difference in the odds ratios for metabolic syndrome based on the amount of daily coffee consumption after adjusting for the gender, age, smoking, exercise, and drinking. However, the levels of serum lipids were different among the groups. HDL-cholesterol level was lower in the high consumption group than the low consumption group (p=0.028). In the case of serum triglyceride, the level was lower in the low consumption group than the high consumption group (p=0.028). Total cholesterol level was lower in <1 cup a day group than in 1~2 cups a day group (p=0.043).
Conclusions: There were no significant differences between the amount of coffee consumption and the number of metabolic syndrome patients. However, a large consumption of coffee correlated with lower HDL-cholesterol levels and higher triglyceride levels in our study.
