Abstract

Coffee is widely consumed in the US, linked to various health benefits, including reduced adiposity. α-Klotho is a circulating protein linked to the aging processes, associated with greater longevity, and confers protective effects against cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. This study investigates the association between coffee (total, caffeinated, and decaffeinated) intake and serum α-Klotho (SαKl) levels.

Research summary

The paper claims that there is an association between coffee intake and serum α-Klotho levels in adults. The study is relevant as it explores a potential link between a common dietary factor (coffee) and a biomarker (α-Klotho) associated with aging and longevity.
