An Extensive Study: drinking coffee may lower stroke risk in women

TIME magazine highlighted a recent study published in the March edition of Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association, which revealed that drinking coffee may in fact lower the risk of stroke in women. This article is a good example of reporting on a survey because both sides are discussed and links are provided to similar studies. It is made clear within the body of the story that the results are not to be taken as absolute and that it will take continued research to determine that the results are accurate as well as why drinking coffee may potentially lower the risk of stroke. The study itself is comprehensive and the procedures used reveal careful implementation. The sample size was approximately 35,000 women between the ages of 49 and 83. The women were observed for about 10 years. The researchers spent extensive time and resources when compiling their data.
