This was a follow-on to a study of nurses showing coffee drinkers have lower all cause mortality.
Caffeine has been shown to exert effects via adenosine receptor antagonism and influence on cAMP & AMPK pathways. These same pathways are implicated in a lot of issues with aging. Caffeine also has some anti-inflammatory properties and Coffee beans are a strong anti-oxidant though I don't really think that matters much.

That is like saying biological pathways are implicated in aging (because you said "pathways").
In any case, adenosine receptor antagonism has a pretty weak link if any to aging.
Additionally, we say that about virtually everything that is herbal, that it has anti-inflammatory properties. You are right, it does not matter at all.
