Abstract
Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages in the world and its consumption has been linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In the same way, falls are a major public health problem and have been linked to greater disability and premature death in older adults. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between coffee consumption and risk of falls in older adults using data from the ENRICA-seniors study (Spain) and UK Biobank (UK). The results obtained suggest that people who consumed more coffee had a lower risk of falling compared to non-consumers. This was observed in both Spain and the UK.
