Association between habitual coffee consumption and blood pressure among pa-
tients aged 20 years old or above .
Hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Coffee tonsumptions have long been suspected as increased hypertension risk; though the available evidences remain inconclusive. In Jakarta, especially at Meruya Utara Sub-district Primary Health Center, hypertension is at the second rank of diseases with the highest cases in January - April 2010; whilst some patients with hypertension attending this health center admitted to consume coffee regularly. We cross-sectionally examined the association between coffee consumptions and blood pressurelLamong 71 subjects without current use of hypertension medication, consecutively selected from patients attending the health center on July 22 - 30, 2010. Subjects were interviewed on their coffee consumptions and other characteris-tics including age, sex, smoking habit, and family history of hypertension using structured questionnaires. Blood pressures, height and weight were measured using stendardized instruments. Median (min, max) coffee consumptions were 200 (86, 1200) cc/day, while systolic and diastolic blood pressures were 110 (80, 160) mmHg and 70 (50, 100) mmHg, respectively. We found no statistical signficant association between average coffee con-sumption (ec/day) and mean systolic blood pressure (r- -0,032; p= 0,38 ) or with diastolic blood pressure o= -0,044; p= 0,12 ), adjusting for year and type of coffee consumptions and several factors associated with hypertension. Similarly, no Significant different on mean systolic/diastolic blood pressures among those consuming 0 - 1 cup coffee/day (108172 mmHg; p= 0.38 and p= 0.12, for systolic and diastolic, respectively) and those consuming >1 - 2, >2 - 3 and >3 cups coffee/day (114176, 111172 and 111174, respectively). Habitual coffee consumption does not appear to be a risk factor for elevated blood pressures.
