Summary
This study looked at whether caffeine intake is linked to how Huntington's disease progresses in people who have the gene but not yet symptoms. Researchers followed 77 participants, measuring brain volume changes and thinking skills over time. The goal was to see if caffeine might be a simple lifestyle factor that could influence the disease.
