May accelerate age-related SBP rise in men; extends observational data on sex-specific effects but leaves causality open.
Does habitual coffee consumption increase resting blood pressure and pulse pressure in aging adults?
Greater coffee intake in men is associated with steeper age-related increases in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure, especially in those over 70 years of age and in overweight to obese men.
Giggey et al. (2010) studied this question.
