Abstract
Background
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated disease with miscellaneous etiological origins. Given caffeine's neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory attributes and its potential influence on MS risk, and to address the conflict in the clinical evidence, this study aims to comprehensively review the existing literature on the association between coffee consumption and the risk of MS.
Methods
Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a systematic search in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase for the studies published up to January 2024 was conducted. Studies that assessed the relationship between coffee intake and the risk of MS were included, and reviews, case reports, non-English papers, in vitro and animal studies, and conference abstracts were excluded. The risk of bias was assessed using the JBI checklists, and meta-analyses were conducted based on odds ratio (OR) using the fourth version of CMA software.
Results
Out of 604 initial records, 10 observational studies with 19,430 participants met the inclusion criteria. The included case-control studies showed an overall high quality. Meta-analysis revealed a reduction in MS development in coffee consumers both before (OR: 0.66; 95 % CI: 0.49–0.90; p-value: 0.008; I2: 89.65 %; p-value for heterogeneity<0.001) and after adjustment for possible confounders (adjusted OR: 0.42; 95 % CI: 0.20–0.90; p-value: 0.025; I2: 89.65 l; p-value for heterogeneity<0.001).
Conclusion
Coffee consumption, may decrease the risk of MS; however, further well-designed prospective studies are required to ascertain this association.
期刊介绍:
Autoimmunity Reviews is a publication that features up-to-date, structured reviews on various topics in the field of autoimmunity. These reviews are written by renowned experts and include demonstrative illustrations and tables. Each article will have a clear "take-home" message for readers.
The selection of articles is primarily done by the Editors-in-Chief, based on recommendations from the international Editorial Board. The topics covered in the articles span all areas of autoimmunology, aiming to bridge the gap between basic and clinical sciences.
In terms of content, the contributions in basic sciences delve into the pathophysiology and mechanisms of autoimmune disorders, as well as genomics and proteomics. On the other hand, clinical contributions focus on diseases related to autoimmunity, novel therapies, and clinical associations.
Autoimmunity Reviews is internationally recognized, and its articles are indexed and abstracted in prestigious databases such as PubMed/Medline, Science Citation Index Expanded, Biosciences Information Services, and Chemical Abstracts.
