Introduction: Cerebrovascular disease is a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality and, in this sense, coffee consumption has a cardiovascular impact, which is why it is important to evaluate the evidence regarding the association between its consumption and cerebrovascular disease. Objective: To evaluate the association between coffee consumption and risk of morbidity and mortality due to cerebrovascular disease. Method: A search was carried out in the Medline, EMBASE, LILACS and Cochrane databases (January 1966 to June 2018), selecting systematic reviews and meta-analyzes evaluated in a standardized and paired way. Six publications were selected. Results: it was found that the consumption of coffee in a moderate range (up to 4 cups) is associated with a reduction in the risk of cerebrovascular disease (relative risk [RR] = 0.89, 95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 0.81-0.97, and RR = 0.83, 95%CI: 0.75-0.91). This protection is maintained in the subgroup of women, with reductions of 13% (95%CI: 0.78-0.97) for a cup, 16% (95%CI: 0.74-0.95) for two cups, and RR = 0.81 (95%CI: 0.70-0.93) for four or more cups. The findings are also significant for the ischemic subtype (RR = 0.80; 95%CI: 0.71-0.90). Conclusions: Coffee consumption reduces the risk of cerebrovascular events between 11% and 17%, and this is maintained in the subgroup of women and in the ischemic subtype.
