We have reviewed an article about the acute effects of coffee consumption on health and wanted to provide a summary of its findings. According to the study, drinking caffeinated coffee does not significantly increase the risk of arrhythmias, but may mildly affect daily steps and sleep duration.
The article is about a study called CRAVE which looked at the effects of drinking caffeinated coffee on the heart, daily steps, sleep, and glucose levels. The study included 100 participants who wore a device to record their heart activity and tracked their daily steps and glucose levels. The study found that drinking caffeinated coffee did not significantly increase the number of premature atrial contractions, but did mildly increase the number of premature ventricular contractions.
The study also found that drinking coffee was associated with approximately 30 minutes less sleep and a mild increase in daily steps. No difference was noted in serum glucose levels. The authors concluded that consuming caffeinated coffee is not associated with an increased risk for arrhythmias. However, it should be noted that the study population was relatively young and healthy.
