Coffee drinkers who drank copious amounts of , defined as four or more cups per day, were twice as likely to avoid becoming physically frail as they aged into their 70s, per a study at the National University of Singapore.
A 2019 study by the University of South Australia suggested that five cups a day is the optimal amount of coffee to drink.

@DeniseGutzmer searched the paper, found no references to correction for economic factors (wealth), so it's a pretty iffy conclusion sadly.

all too often these studies essentially boil down to "are they rich enough to afford luxuries? if yes, they live longer".

@gsuberland @DeniseGutzmer

how many of the survey responders would have been aunties and uncles (generic term for an older adult in Singapore, even if unrelated) who are semi or fully retired, and have the time to sit around and drink tea/coffee? Singapore is a wealthy country with nationalised health care, those who are lucky enough to get good careers can often retire in late middle age...

    @Pagan_Animist @DeniseGutzmer it's the first thing I search for in any paper that studies people, especially health. it's a very common source of uncorrected bias.

    @DeniseGutzmer i’d wager the reason they can/do drink 5 cups of coffee a day is the reason they are likely to not become frail
