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 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) …

Aim We aimed to investigate whether different measures of obesity could similarly predict
atrial fibrillation, and whether the atrial fibrillation risk associated with obesity is dependent …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been associated with body size and central obesity,
but the impact of different anthropometric measures in this relationship has been …

Background Higher height and weight are known to be associated with higher risk of atrial
fibrillation (AF); however, whether the risk of AF is related to abdominal obesity is unclear …

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 Atrial fibrillation (AF) has a higher prevalence in men than in women and is
associated with measures of adiposity and lean mass (LM). However, it remains uncertain …

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 …

Aims Obesity is a recognized risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), partly because of the
association between body mass index (BMI) and atrial volume. We aimed to determine …
