据最新一期《BMJ精神卫生》杂志报道，英国伦敦国王学院领导的国际团队的一项新研究显示，每天饮 用不超过3至4杯咖啡，可能有助于减缓重度精神疾病患者的细胞老化过程。 细胞端粒会随年龄自然缩短，在精神分裂症、双相情感障碍等重度精神疾病患者中，这一缩短过程往往 更加明显。 为了解咖啡摄入是否影响端粒长度，研究团队分析了挪威"主题组织性精神病研究"中436名成年参与者 的数据。结果显示，每天饮用3至4杯咖啡者的端粒长度明显长于不喝咖啡的参与者，但每天饮用5杯以 上者则未体现类似趋势。这一差异在调整吸烟、年龄、性别、药物治疗等因素后仍然存在。 值得注意的是，研究所指的"3至4杯"沿用了流行病学常用换算，即每杯约含80—100毫克咖啡因。现代 商业咖啡店的饮品容量更大、咖啡因含量也更高。因此，对于喝速溶或自家小杯手冲的人来说，"每天3 —4杯"较为合适。但若饮用的是大杯商业美式，1—2杯就可能接近研究中的最佳摄入量。 研究团队强调，本研究为观察性研究，无法证明咖啡本身使端粒变长，且未记录咖啡类型、饮用时间与 其他含咖啡因饮料等可能干扰因素。 （文章来源：科技日报） ...
