The association of coffee and tea consumption to anemia was investigated among 11,684 19 to 74 year old NHANES II participants. Anemia was assessed among 5.3% of the subjects when 2 of the 4 haematologic parameters (TS, EP, MCV, Hb) were below the acceptable value. Two logistic regression models were tested to examine the relationship between the probability of anemia and coffee and tea consumption when controlling for other dietary variables and demographic factors. Model one examined the relationship between coffee and tea consumption when dietary variables (iron and ascorbic acid), and age and sex were included. Contrary to laboratory findings of positive association between tea and coffee intake and anemia, average daily consumption of 3.7 cups of tea and coffee was significantly (P < 0.05) but negatively associated with anaemic status. Dietary iron and ascorbate were also negatively associated but not significantly. Age and sex made a stronger contribution to explaining the likelihood of anemia than any of the dietary factors. When socioeconomic factors were added to the above model all dietary variables, including coffee and tea intake, remained negatively associated and made no significant contribution to the probability of being anaemic. Based on standardized coefficients, race, education, sex, age, and poverty made significant contributions to anaemic status of the participants in that order. Our analysis of NHANES II data suggests that demographic characteristics may be more important predictors of anaemic status than coffee and tea, iron or ascorbic acid intake of individuals when the latter two nutrients are not limiting in the diet.
