Daily coffee consumption is also associated with a slightly increased risk of bone fractures among women, but, interestingly, a decreased fracture risk among men.35 However, no association was found between coffee and hip fracture risk. Conversely, tea may reduce hip fracture risk36 but appears to have no significant effect on fracture risk in general.37 This is an important distinction, because hip fractures are associated with a shortened life span more than other types of bone fractures.38
