Coffee consumption and mortality from ischemic heart disease and other causes: results from the Lutheran Brotherhood study, 1966–1978
Abstract
Murray, S. S., E. Bjeike, R. W. Gibson and L. M. Schuman (School of Public Health, U. of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455). Coffee consumption and mortality from Ischemic heart disease and other causes: Results from the Lutheran Brotherhood study, 1966–1978. Am J Epidemiol 1981; 113: 661–7. In this cohort study, 16, 911 men who had completed a mailed dietary questionnaire were followed for 11 ½ years with 721 deaths reported from Ischemic heart disease (IHD) (excluding those reporting on the questionnaire a prior history of angina or other heart conditions). Although no association was found between coffee consumption and mortality from IHD, a negative association between coffee consumption and mortality from diseases other than IHD was found. This negative association, found exclusively in the first four years of follow-up, was observed in deaths from digestive diseases, other than malignancies, and paralysis agitans, which made the greatest contribution to this observed negative association. The negative association appeared to reflect a reduction in coffee consumption related to the disorders in question and not to a protective effect of coffee. It has been suggested that the positive association between coffee consumption and IHD reported in some case-control studies may reflect a decreased consumption among controls rather than an unusually high consumption among cases.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
