A study conducted by scientists at the University of Oulu in Finland revealed that regular coffee drinkers exhibited variations in body composition, metabolic rates, and sex hormone levels. This research involved an analysis of 2,264 participants aged 46 from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort of 1966. Increased coffee consumption was associated with reduced total and visceral fat as well as increased skeletal muscle mass, while body mass index (BMI) remained constant. The alterations in hormonal levels were notably more evident in males, particularly in testosterone and SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin). Nevertheless, since this is an observational study, it cannot definitively establish that coffee consumption is the cause of these changes. Future investigations will delve into the biological processes at play.
