Demographic and laboratory characteristics of study subjects by
coffee consumption, sleeping hours and smoking status
Average age of patients across different categories of coffee
consumption, sleeping and smoking status ranged from 54 to 60 years with
approximately half of the patients being female gender.
Female patients consumed coffee
more frequent and were smokers.
Overall average BMI ranged from
27.2 to 30.8 kg/m2, being the lowest in most frequent
coffee consumers. This was also the case for hypertension, dyslipidemia
and DM where the proportions were lowest also in most
frequent coffee consumers.
Furthermore, coffee non-consumers had highest values of hepatic enzymes,
CAP and LSM. Patients who slept 6-8 hours per day had lowest values of
CAP and LSM, and lowest proportion of T2DM and dyslipidemia. There was
no difference in LSM and CAP when comparing smokers and non-smokers. All
of the characteristics are shown in Table 1. CAP and LSM values
according to the categories of coffee consumption, sleeping and smoking
status are shown in Figure 2 and 3.
