Conclusion Statement

In conclusion, we found that increased coffee consumption is associated with a lower risk of EC. The inverse association between coffee consumption and EC risk was especially strong among females who were overweight or obese. No effect modification by other EC risk factors was observed. Our results further support the potential beneficial health effects of coffee consumption in relation to EC. Further research to assess the potential causality of such an association as well as gain a better understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms is warranted.
