| Popis: | To explore the association between green tea consumption and coronary arterial disease (CAD) in the Chinese population of Guangzhou. Design, location, subjects: A retrospective study at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital in Guangzhou, China. Consecutive patients were enrolled between January 2013 and August 2014. A total of 539 patients were included. Two hundred sixty-seven of them are CAD patients and 272 of them are non-CAD patients. The CAD patients were diagnosed according to international diagnostic criteria.Using data from the questionnaires and clinical laboratories, we attempted to elucidate the association between green tea and CAD.Baseline characteristics of study population, CAD-related biomarkers, amount, frequency and duration of green tea consumption, and CAD risk analysis.The results showed that among males, those who drank green tea did not have a reduced risk of CAD (odds ratio; OR = 1.58, 95% CI: 0.96-2.59, p 0.05). However, women in the study who drank green tea had a reduced risk of CAD (OR = 0.13, 95% CI: 0.07-0.23, p 0.01). The females who consumed ≤1 cup/day green tea had lower CAD risk (OR = 0.12, 95% CI: 0.07-0.23, p 0.01). The frequency of 3-5 days/week (OR = 0.14, 95% CI: 0.07-0.29, p 0.01) and5 days/week (OR = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.08-0.69, p 0.01) were both beneficial in preventing CAD. Those who had been drinking green tea for 0-10 years (OR = 0.11, 95% CI: 0.04-0.30), 10-20 years (OR = 0.22, 95% CI: 0.11-0.46), or20 years (OR = 0.37, 95% CI: 0.12-0.96) had a reduced risk of CAD.Through the analysis of green tea consumption and CAD-related biomarkers, we concluded that a small amount of high-frequency green tea consumption was associated with a reduced risk of CAD in female populations in Guangzhou, China, and the association might be partly due to altered CAD-related biomarkers. |
