Study Links Coffee Consumption to Weakened Bones in Older Women

A new study by Flinder University reveals that excessive coffee intake may subtly affect bone health in older women. The research, tracking nearly 10,000 women aged 65 and older over a decade, found that moderate coffee consumption had a neutral effect on bone density.

The study aimed to determine the association between regular coffee and tea consumption and changes in bone mineral density (BMD), a crucial measure for assessing osteoporosis risk. The long-term study addressed gaps in previous research and highlighted the potential influence of everyday beverage choices on bone health.
