Abstract

were 2.86 (95% CI, 2.30-3.56), 3.42 (95% CI, 2.50-4.68), and 2.34 (95% CI, 1.52-3.61), respectively. Conclusions Increasing BMI in adolescent men is strongly associated with early AF, and with subsequent worse clinical outcomes in those diagnosed with AF with respect to all-cause mortality, incident heart failure, and ischemic stroke.
