Aims Obesity is a major risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Compared with stable weight,
gaining weight was associated with a higher risk of incident AF in observational studies. The …

Aims Although obesity has been associated with risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), the
associations of long-term obesity, recent obesity, and weight change with AF risk throughout …

BACKGROUND: Obesity is associated with the development of atrial fibrillation and may
impact atrial fibrillation-related outcomes. To date, no anthropometric measure is included in …

Background The prevalence of obesity is increasing among the general population. Obesity
is associated with increased risk of several cardiovascular conditions, which in turn may …

Background Anthropometric factors are reported to be risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF),
but it is unclear whether weight change in mid‐life is associated with AF. We aimed to study …

Background and aim Obesity is a recognized risk factor for new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF).
The association between body fat distribution, which is measured by body mass index (BMI) …

Aims Obesity is a risk factor for several cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including atrial
fibrillation (AF). However, it is less clear whether overall fat or abdominal fat distribution are …

Background Obesity is a well-known risk factor for development of atrial fibrillation (AF).
However, the impact of underweight on AF has not been previously recognized. We sought …

Obesity has been linked to atrial fibrillation (AF) burden and severity, and epidemiological
studies suggest that AF is more prevalent in whites than Asian. We aimed to investigate …

Background Increased body mass index (BMI) and obesity are associated with increased
risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) among middle-aged adults. Objectives The objective …
