Connoisseurs of coffee drinks seem to be able to breathe with relief. Previous concerns if consumed coffee can trigger high blood pressure or hypertension is not entirely correct.

Some scientists have suggested that consuming coffee may be the root of the problem. However, according to a recent report, drinking lots of coffee did not increase the risk of hypertension.

The new report collected data from six previous studies involving a total of more than 170,000 people. In each study, the researchers interviewed the participants to find out how many cups of coffee they drank per day, starting less than a cup to more than five cups, and then followed them up to 33 years.

Just over a fifth of study participants who eventually suffer from hypertension, according to findings published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition it.

However, the possibility of being diagnosed with these conditions did not differ between those who said they drank more than five cups of coffee per day and those who drink very little.

"However, the report was 'not saying there is no risk' to drink lots of coffee," said Dr. Liwei Chen, who worked on the study, as reported by Reuters pages.

Chen who came from Louisiana State University School of Public Health in New Orleans, United States, said more data would be needed to draw strong conclusions.

Moreover, people who drank between one and three cups per day had only a slightly higher risk of hypertension than those who drank less than this amount, a result that the truth can not be explained by the researcher.

Dr. Lawrence Krakoff, who studied the problem of hypertension in the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, United States, said that questions about the impact of coffee "keep popping up" between patient and physician colleagues.

"But that has not been fully addressed," said Krakoff, who was not involved in this latest study.

"I do not think of coffee as a risk factor for high blood pressure," he continued.

However, if people drink twelve cups of coffee a day and not sleeping, the assumption that this is a very important issue. Dr. Gary Curhan, who worked on one study Chen and colleagues, claimed to agree about that.

"There may be other side effects with (drinking), caffeine in large numbers," said derived Curhan of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, USA.

Chen's research team can not compare the effects of decaffeinated coffee with caffeinated coffee because some of their analysis of both studies together or just talk about the caffeinated coffee.

"And, the relationship between coffee drinking and hypertension is more complicated with the possibility that it does not work the same way in every person," said Chen.

"The people with different genetic backgrounds might react to coffee with a different way," he continued.

"For some people may be safe to drink much coffee, but not for others," said Chen.

Previous fact, researchers in Greece have proved that drinking one to two cups of coffee a day can lower the risk of hypertension. As you age, blood vessels are generally hardened, and believed would increase the risk of blood pressure new tinggi.Penemuan suggests drinking coffee may counteract this process.

Those who consume regular coffee appeared to have blood vessels more elastic than those with less or more coffee. The researchers conducted their study involving 485 men and women, aged 65-100 years old, who lives in a small island named Ikaria, Aegean Sea. There, more than a third of the population live long, remember to celebrate the 90th anniversary year.

"We aim to evaluate the longevity secrets of Ikaria population," said study lead Christina Chrysohoou BSc from the University of Athens, Greece.

He presented his findings at the European Society for Cardiology Congress. Study participants who all had hypertension underwent imaging scans to measure the elasticity of their blood vessels. Of these, 33 percent of participants did not drink coffee or less than one cup of coffee a day, 56 percent drank 1-2 cups, and 11 percent drank three or more cups of coffee a day.

People who drank one to two cups of coffee a day have a major blood vessel elasticity, about 25 percent bigger than the people who drank coffee less or not at all.

Elasticity of blood vessels is about five times greater than those who drank three or more cups of coffee a day.
