Caffeine increases blood pressure (BP). In men, acute BP elevations after caffeine intake are due to an increase in vascular resistance, with no change in cardiac output. The hemodynamic effects of caffeine have not been studied in women. Accordingly, BP and hemodynamic responses to caffeine were measured in a double-blind trial comparing age-matched men and women at rest and during mental stress. Caffeine (3.3 mg/kg, equivalent to 2 to 3 cups of brewed coffee) or placebo was given to separate groups of women (n = 21 and 21) and men (n = 16 and 19) (mean ages 29 and 27 years, respectively). BP, cardiac output, and vascular resistance were observed at rest, during a stressful public-speaking simulation, reading aloud, and recovery. Caffeine caused nearly identical systolic and diastolic BP elevations in women (4.5 and 3.3 mm Hg, respectively) and men (4.1 and 3.8 mm Hg, respectively). Men given caffeine versus placebo showed the expected elevation in vascular resistance throughout the remainder of the protocol (p
