Abstract: The article discusses a study of the association between caffeine consumption or intake of caffeinated beverages and risk of depression. A total of 50,931 female registered nurses who were depression free in 1996 were involved in the study. The number of cases of clinical depression among the subjects during the 10-year follow-up from 1996 to 2006 reached 2,607. Results emphasize the role of caffeinated coffee consumption in depression risk.
