Caffeine Intake and Body Mass Index: A Review

Abstract

Caffeine is a widely consumed stimulant known for its effects on metabolism, appetite regulation, and energy expenditure. Recent research has explored its impact on body mass index (BMI) and body weight, with mixed results. This review examines the association between caffeine intake and BMI, focusing on the mechanisms through which caffeine might influence weight, such as increased metabolic rate, reduced appetite, and enhanced fat oxidation. The evidence from observational studies and clinical trials is discussed to provide a clearer understanding of the role caffeine may play in weight management.

Keywords: Caffeine, metabolism, body mass index.
