| Sumario: | As expected, 2019 has been a prolific year in terms of new evidence regarding the effects of coffeeand caffeine consumption on diverse aspects of human functioning. A search in PubMed for publishedstudies in 2019 on the e?ects of ca?eine or coffee on humans, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines [1], showed a total of 202 manuscripts that contained “co?ee” (n = 65, which represents 32.2% of the total) or “ca?eine” (n = 137, which represents 67.8% of the total) in the title of the manuscript (Figure 1). In the group of studies that investigated the e?ect of coffee intake, 58 (89.2%) were related to the use of this beverage to modify one or more health outcomes, five (7.7%) were related to the use of coffee to improve human performance and two (3.1%) assessed regular intake of co?ee. In the group of studies that investigated the effect of caffeine intake (in most cases measured as the sum of all the sources containing caffeine such as coffee, tea, chocolate, energy drinks, etc.), 79 (57.7%) were associated with the use of caffeine with health variables, 52 (38.0%) were associated with the use of caffeine with ergogenic purposes, six (4.4%) were associated with regular caffeine intake. Briefly, this analysis shows the elevated amount of new information published each year regarding the utility of coffee and caffeine to produce a change in human functioning while reveals that most of the indications of coffee and caffeine are associated with producing a benefit on health or with enhancing human performance. |
