Transition of Metabolic Phenotypes and Risk of Atrial Fibrillation According to BMI: Kailuan Study

Abstract

In this community-based cohort study, metabolically healthy overweight/obese individuals have increased risks of AF. Obesity remains a risk factor for AF independent of major metabolic factors. Our data further suggested that metabolic phenotype was a dynamic condition, and maintenance of metabolic health and normal weight might alleviate the risk of AF.
