Abstract
Data on coffee consumption were collected for 1074 adults attending fo r health checks in the OXCHECK study, to assess associations with seru m lipids and blood pressure. Of the sample, 70.5% drank coffee, largel y instant. Coffee had no significant effects on total or high-density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol or blood pressure, and was negatively co rrelated with serum triglycerides. The type of coffee drunk in the UK does not adversely effect these cardiovascular risk factors.
