Sumario:BACKGROUND: Habitual coffee drinking has been associated with lower risk of various chronic diseases linked to poor physical performance. OBJECTIVE: We explored cross-sectional associations between coffee consumption and physical performance among oldest-old community-dwelling men in the Helsinki Businessmen Study (HBS). METHODS: A random sample of HBS survivors (n = 126, mean age 87 years) attended a clinic visit in 2017/2018, including measurements of body composition, physical performance [Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)], and cognition. Coffee consumption was retrieved from 3-day food diaries. RESULTS: Coffee consumption was positively associated with higher gait speed (p = 0.003), SPPB score (p = 0.035), and chair rise points (p = 0.043). Association of coffee with gait speed remained after adjustment for age, waist circumference, physical activity, pulse rate, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. CONCLUSION: Higher coffee consumption was independently associated with better physical performance reflected as faster gait speed in oldest-old men.
