NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Men who eat more than two cups of coffee a day or the equivalent of caffeine are more likely to suffer from what is known as "urinary incontinence" than men who eat less caffeine, a study shows.
The study is the first of its kind to reveal a relationship between men's consumption of caffeine and coffee and an increased risk of urinary incontinence.
The study was conducted on more than 5,000 people between 2005 and 2007 among the age groups over 20 years, where the dietary habits and the extent of consumption of caffeine and water and the nature of their food system were analyzed.
Those who consumed about 234 milligrams of caffeine or more per day increased their chances of menopause by 72 percent compared to those who consumed less, the data showed.
The higher the caffeine and coffee consumption, the higher the risk of infection, the researchers said
