00:00A new study is linking coffee and tea consumption with a lower risk of dementia.
00:04Researchers analyzed data from more than 131,000 people in the United Kingdom.
00:10Participants were followed for periods reaching as long as 43 years.
00:14During that time, more than 11,000 dementia cases were recorded.
00:18The researchers found an association between drinking caffeinated coffee, or tea,
00:23and reduced dementia risk. The findings were particularly linked to people consuming moderate
00:28amounts of these drinks. But experts stressed that the study does not prove coffee or tea
00:33prevents dementia. It was an observational study, meaning researchers identified patterns,
00:39rather than proving cause and effect. The researchers also considered factors,
00:43including lifestyle, health, and other potential influences. So, your daily cup may be associated
00:49with brain health benefits, but more research is needed. For now, the findings add to growing
00:55research examining how everyday beverages may relate to long-term brain health.
