A follow-up survey of 2,530 men id women, blacks and whites, in vans County, Georgia, found no insistent differences between the art disease death rates of heavy fee drinkers and those who drank ss or none at all. The reassuring statistics will leer the coffee drinker as well as leabstainer," said Dr. Samuel Vai- ub, associate editor of Archives of ternal Medicine, a doctor’s jour- al published by the American idical Association. After all, coffee is no ordinary ink such as chocolate soda and the he wrote in an editorial ac- impanying the Evans County re lit. “It is a way of life." iThe possible relationship be- reen coffee and heart attack has been controversial since a report from Boston University in 1972 suggested that heart attack risks in creased by 60 to 120 percent for those who drank coffee regularly, with the risk increasing with coffee consumption. That conclusion was based on studies of hospitalized people. Two other studies comparing people who died of heart disease and those who did not found no as sociation between heart disease and heavy coffee drinking although a Finnish study reported last year did find such a link. The Evans County study is the latest of seven prospective surveys following coffee drinkers to see if they develop an abnormally high rate of heart disease. All were nega tive outright, or after deleting any effects caused by cigarette smoking, a known heart disease risk factor. The new report, published in the October issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, was prepared by a team of doctors led by Dr. Sieg fried Heyden of the Duke Univer sity Department of Community and Family Medicine. They identified those who were heavy coffee drinkers — drinking five or more cups a day — and those who drank less than five cups daily or those who didn’t drink coffee. The group then was followed for four-and-one-half-years. A total of 339 deaths occurred among the group and 130 were at tributed to either heart disease or stroke. When deaths from heart disease were singled out, the report said there were no significant differences between those who drank coffee and those who did. “Lack of systematic differences in vascular mortality among the four race-sex groups led us to the conclu sion that there was no evidence of an association between coffee- drinking habits and mortality, either h orn all causes or from specific vas cular diseases, the report said.
