Association between coffee consumption and risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism - Results from the Trøndelag Health Study and Tromsø Study
By Olsen MM, Brækkan SK, Hveem K and 2 others.
Abstract
Background
Epidemiological studies have shown that coffee consumption is associated with a lowered risk of incident venous thromboembolism (VTE). No previous study has explored whether coffee consumption influences the risk of VTE recurrence.
Objectives
This study aimed to investigate whether the amount of coffee consumption (cups/d) is associated with the risk of VTE recurrence in a population-based cohort of incident VTEs.
