Coffee and tea are amongst the most consumed beverages worldwide, and are the main source of caffeine in adults. In this review we present findings on the effects of habitual coffee and tea consumption on cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention. Mild-moderate coffee/ caffeine consumption, at 2–3 cups/day, is associated with beneficial effects on metabolic syndrome, including hypertension and diabetes mellitus, although may elevate lipid levels. Furthermore, coffee consumption reduces the risk of coronary heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmia, stroke, CVD and all cause mortality. Higher tea consumption, in particular green tea, confers similar cardiovascular benefits to coffee with 3 cups/day associated with improved survival in population based studies.

咖啡和茶是全球消费量最大的饮料之一，也是成人咖啡因的主要来源。在这篇综述中，我们介绍了习惯性饮用咖啡和茶对心血管疾病 (CVD) 预防的影响。每天 2-3 杯的轻度中度咖啡/咖啡因摄入与代谢综合征（包括高血压和糖尿病）的有益影响有关，尽管可能会提高血脂水平。此外，喝咖啡可降低患冠心病、心力衰竭、心律失常、中风、心血管疾病和全因死亡率的风险。在基于人群的研究中，较高的茶消费量，特别是绿茶，与每天 3 杯咖啡的心血管益处相似，与提高生存率有关。
