This Study Summary was published on April 2, 2025.

The study

The meta-analysis included 9 cross-sectional studies, 3 cohort studies, and 2 case-control studies.

The odds of osteoporosis were 21% lower in people who drank coffee (11 studies) and 25% lower in people who drank tea (8 studies) than in people who consumed neither.

A subgroup analysis showed that drinking at least 1 cup of coffee per day was associated with reduced odds of osteoporosis, but drinking less was not associated with osteoporosis risk.

Both low (fewer than 4 times per week) and high (more than 4 times per week) tea consumption were associated with reduced odds of osteoporosis.
