"We know that coffee can help slow biological ageing in the general population, but little is known about its effect on people with severe mental illness – a population whose lifespan is already shortened by 15 years on average." Vid Mlakar, PhD student at King’s College London
"Our study shows that up to four cups of coffee per day is linked to longer telomeres among people with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. This is comparable to a biological age of five years younger than non-coffee drinkers." Vid Mlakar, PhD student at King’s College London
New research has found that 3-4 cups of coffee a day is linked to longer telomeres (an indicator of slower biological ageing) among people with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
