Drinking Black Tea Tied to Fewer Fractures in Older Women


Drinking multiple cups of black tea (as opposed to green or other tea) with or without milk was linked to a substantially lower risk of fractures in older women who participated in the Calcium Intake Fracture Outcome Study(CAIFOS) and were followed for a mean of 5 years.


Specifically, in more than 1000 women with a mean age of 75, those who drank at least three cups of tea a day had a 34% lower risk of developing a serious osteoporotic fracture and a 42% lower risk of developing a hip fracture, compared with women who rarely drank tea, in this Australian trial.


“Previous studies, including our own, have demonstrated a beneficial effect of tea, a major source of dietary flavonoids, on bone structure,” Dr Richard L Prince from the University of Western Australia, in Perth, and colleagues write, in an abstract presented as a poster at the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) 2015 Annual Meeting. Now the current study suggests that black tea is associated with a lower risk of fracture in older women.
