According to a recent study, the number of cups of coffee an individual consumes may be linked to anxiety and the risk of depression.
The study, published in August in Psychiatry Researchfound that people who consumed two to three cups of coffee per day had a lower risk of depression and anxiety.
People who drank one to two cups of coffee daily had a low risk of developing depression and anxiety. However, this was not to the same degree as individuals who consumed two to three cups per day, according to the study.
On the other hand, coffee lovers who drank more than six cups of coffee daily had a higher risk of depression and anxiety.
Coffee and mental health
The researchers said that caffeine, a key component of coffee, is the factor that influences mental health.
The study involved 152,821 people who completed online mental health questionnaires as part of the UK Biobank dataset, in the United Kingdom.
Data on coffee consumption was obtained from online questionnaires completed between 2006 and 2010, while data on mental disorders came from a variety of sources, according to the study.
The results showed that 81% of participants consumed coffee. Of this proportion, 41% drank two to three cups per day, 28% drank one cup and the rest drank more than three.
