Abstract: This is an analytical descriptive cross-section study. It was conducted among youth Saudis coffee consumers. It aimed at detecting the coffee consumption patterns (coffee type, concentration, volume/day, time length, site, water drink after coffee intake) concerning the onset of high BP, and signs and symptoms suggesting its presence. The hypothesis is the presence of significant inter-relation between them.Non-probability convenient sampling was applied; a self-administered questionnaire was developed, tested and filled by 340 males and females students, their relatives, besides the Faculty of Public and Tropical Medicine administrative staff. Findings showed that a total of 50 (14.7%) respondents reported having high BP. Of them, 29 (58%) were users of Arabica coffee (only), while 49 (98%) used the Arabica coffee along with other coffee types. The OR showed that the consumers of Arabica coffee (only) were at 1.79 risks of contracting high BP, while the favorites of each of the concentrated, and the homemade coffee were at 1.5 and 2.1 risks respectively. The homemade predictor value was significantly (P<0.05) related to high BP. Apart from the intake of Arabica coffee (only), the OR of all coffee consumption patterns were seen to be prognosis factors of contracting 4+signs and symptoms suggesting high blood pressure. But, no significant (P>0.05) relation was there. Familial history of high BP, and below university OR were at 1.7 and 1.9 risks of contracting high BP respectively. However, no significant (P>0.05) relation was there.The conclusion is that the consumers of Arabica coffee (only) were almost 2 times the risk of contracting high BP. Each of the homemade and strong coffee was seen to be prognosis factors of both contracting high BP and of having 4+ signs and symptoms suggesting its presence.
