Men who have about two cups of coffee a day, or the equivalent amount of caffeine, are more likely to have urinary incontinence or a ‘leaky bladder’ than men who drink less or none at all, report US researchers in The Journal Of Urology.
While several studies have already established a link between caffeine intake and leaky bladder in women, the evidence for such a link in men is limited. For their study, the researchers used national survey results about food and drink intake of over 5,000 American men aged 20 and over.
The study concluded that people having problems with urinary incontinence should cut back on their caffeine intake.
