A new study has suggested that habitual coffee consumption of 4–6 cups and over (with one cup measuring at 125ml) per day is associated with a reduced risk of frailty. The study is the first to analyze the relationship between coffee consumption and the underlying components of frailty.
Coffee consumption has previously been linked to reducing the risk of some of the natural symptoms of aging, such as improving cognitive function and mitigating against inflammatory-related diseases.
Researchers conducted a detailed analysis over a long seven-year follow-up period, surveying 1,161 adults aged 55+ years through the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA).
The relationship between coffee consumption and the presence and incidence of frailty was investigated. Frailty status was evaluated using Fried's five-component frailty phenotype, which is defined by the presence of three or more of the following symptoms: weight loss, weakness, exhaustion, slow gait (walking) speed, and low physical activity.
The results of this study indicate that higher habitual coffee consumption is associated with lower overall odds of frailty. These findings can be considered alongside the European Food Safety Authority's (EFSA) scientific opinion that up to 400mg of caffeine (3–5 cups of coffee) per day is a moderate and safe amount.
The researchers explain that coffee's effect on reducing frailty can partly be attributed to the role of antioxidants in coffee, which may help to reduce inflammation, sarcopenia (muscle loss), and prevention of muscle damage. Coffee may also help to improve regulating insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in older people.
"Our findings highlight the possible beneficial association between daily coffee consumption and reduced risk of frailty in later life in the older population. Coffee consumption may thus enhance healthy aging, but it is important we also explore further dietary interventions, to ensure older adults can continue to live fulfilling lives."

That should be “precedes death.”
Door Dufy didn’t hdfqkf the.
But I don’t Want That Either!
...which is a condition that often proceeds death.

I don’t want to argue that correlation does not equal causation, but one thing that ALWAYS precedes death - life.
Study funded by Folgers Coffee...
Nobody drinks a 125ml cup of coffee (4.2oz). This is effectively 2-3 cups per day, not 4-6.

Mrs. Olson?
Breaking! New research conducted by a superannuated individual who shall go unnamed shows that coffee helps you get going in the morning, and that it’s great when friends get together to talk, and for a mood boost in the afternoon.
This research cost the taxpayers nothing.
Pills and coffee and supplements aren't going to do it. You have to put in the work.
Juan Valdez and his mule, Francine.
Amen.
These people looking for an easy health fix in a pill are just lazy and deluded.
That’s true.
Yeah, I fill the coffeemaker to the six-cup line, which makes two not-very-big cups.
