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.
