"Research" underscores the stark contrast in mortality risks between coffee drinkers and non-drinkers engaging in prolonged sitting. Coffee consumption exhibits potential in "reducing" the risk of death, particularly for those with sedentary lifestyles. Further exploration into coffee's properties is warranted to unveil its full potential in mortality risk reduction.

This claim takes facts from a public health report conducted by a reliable source. BMC conducted this research and concluded that "sedentary behavior for more than 6 h/d accompanied with non-coffee consumption, were strongly associated with the increased risk of mortality from all-cause and CVD." (https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-024-18515-9) Other sources such as Business Standard, ET HealthWorld, and Gulf Insider also reported on this claim, backing it up, simply stating that coffee reduces the risk of mortality for those with sedentary lifestyles.
