They examined inflammation levels in the blood samples of 100 younger (ages 20-30) and older (60-89) adults participating in a long-term health survey. The blood samples of the older participants who reported they consumed caffeinated beverages on a daily basis had lower levels of inflammation, with individuals who drank more than five cups caffeinated beverages a day having extremely low levels of inflammation.
100位年轻人(20至30岁)和老年人(60至89岁)参加了一个长期健康调查,研究员们检查了这些人血液样本的炎症程度。那些说自己每天都会饮用含咖啡因饮料的老年人,他们的血液样本炎症程度更低,那些每天喝5杯以上含咖啡因饮料的人,他们的炎症程度尤为低。
“Our findings show that an underlying inflammatory process, which is associated with aging, is not only driving cardiovascular disease but is, in turn, driven by molecular events that we may be able to target and combat,” said co-author Mark Davis, director of the Institute for Immunity, Transplantation and Infection, in a statement.
“我们的研究结果表明:与衰老相关的潜在炎症过程不仅会引起心血管疾病,而且反过来,是由我们可以瞄准并抵抗的分子事件引起的,” 斯坦福免疫移植和感染学院的主任兼合著作者马克•戴维斯在一篇声明中写道。
In other words, inflammation is occurring at a cellular level, and caffeine may be one way of reducing it. That has the potential to make a difference in an individual’s health: The older participants with lower levels of inflammation had fewer stiff arteries ― an indicator for cardiovascular disease ― and were eight times more likely to be related to someone who lived to the age of 90 and beyond, according to the study.
