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 …

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 …

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 …

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 Although obesity has been associated with risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), the
associations of variability of obesity measures with AF risk are uncertain, and longitudinal …

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 …

Background Common conditions associated with obesity, such as diabetes, cardiovascular
disease and hypertension, are risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF). Although the link …

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 …

Obesity is associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the effect of obesity on
AF recurrence or burden has not been studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the …

ContextObesity is associated with atrial enlargement and ventricular diastolic dysfunction,
both known predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it is unclear whether obesity is a …
