Abstract

We investigated the link between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and coffee consumption in Japanese. We used data of 376 men and 794 women who were not taking any medications, aged 20 - 78 years, in this cross- sectional investigation study. eGFR was calcu-lated using serum creatinine (Cr), age and sex. Habitual coffee consumption was defined as drinking one or more cups of coffee per day. Two hundred thirty three men (62.0%) and 400 women (50.4%) were subjects with habitual coffee consumption (coffee consumption 1 cup/ day ≥). eGFR was negatively correlated with age (men: r = –0.533, women: r = –624). eGFR in subjects with coffee consumers was not significantly different from that in subjects without coffee consumers after adjusting for age in both sexes (men: p = 0.1375, women: p = 0.2069). Among Japanese not taking medications, coffee consumption was not associated with eGFR in the Japanese population.
