Key result
Coffee consumption is linked to ~1-mmHg higher systolic blood pressure alongside higher cholesterol.
Why the study?
The effect of coffee consumption frequency on uric acid levels, glucose, and blood pressure among employees at UNDANA was not well established.
Does the frequency of coffee consumption affect cholesterol, glucose, uric acid, and blood pressure levels in university employees?
Case-Control (n=54)
No
Does the frequency of coffee consumption affect cholesterol, glucose, uric acid, and blood pressure levels in university employees?
Absolute Event Rate: 122.56% vs 121.48%
p-value: p=0.002
Routine coffee consumption over a one-week period significantly increases cholesterol levels and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in healthy adults.
Associated BP and cholesterol elevations should not yet change practice; leaves open causal effects of coffee on cardiometabolic risk.
The increase in the burden of non-communicable diseases is in line with the increase in risk factors, including the eating and drinking patterns of the people themselves. Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in Indonesian society. The effect of coffee on blood pressure will impact public health. Coffee containing caffeine can stimulate the heart to work faster, flowing more fluids every second. The habit of drinking coffee is obtained from one cup containing 75–200 mg of caffeine. Drinking more than four cups of coffee can increase systolic blood pressure by around ten mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by around eight mmHg. This study aims to determine the effect of the frequency of coffee consumption on uric acid levels, glucose, and blood pressure among employees at UNDANA. This study uses a case-control research design. The research samples were Rectorate employees and 3 Faculties at UNDANA who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The sampling technique used is Volunteer sampling. The results showed that 52% of employees consumed coffee 1-2 times daily. The frequency of coffee consumption affects cholesterol levels, blood glucose levels, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure among employees at the University of Nusa Cendana.

Conrad Liab Hendricson Folamauk (2026) conducted a case-control in Healthy education staff (n=54). Coffee consumption vs. No coffee consumption was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure (p=0.002). Coffee consumption was significantly associated with higher post-test systolic blood pressure (122.56 vs 121.48 mmHg; p=0.002), diastolic blood pressure, and cholesterol levels compared to non-consumption.
