People with mild cognitive impairment who consume coffee regularly are at low risk of developing dementia.

Regular daily coffee consumption helps prevent dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

According to a new study, people with mild cognitive impairment , or memory loss, who have high levels of caffeine in their blood are at low risk of developing dementia.

Scientists suggest that the caffeine contained in the hot drink offers some protection against Alzheimer's.

For 2-4 years, researchers from the University of South Florida and the University of Miami observed 124 people between the ages of 65 and 88, periodically testing blood caffeine levels and cognitive abilities.

It turns out that caffeine levels among those who have developed dementia are 51% lower than those who have not.

The study is the first direct evidence that caffeine intake is associated with a reduced risk of the condition or delayed onset, especially in people who already have a mild cognitive impairment, the researchers said.

According to the British Alzheimer's Society, between 10 and 15% of people with mild cognitive impairment also develop dementia.

Additional research is needed to confirm the results, experts added.
