Metabolically Healthy Obesity and Risk for Atrial Fibrillation: The HUNT Study

Objective Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and has been described as a global epidemic. Although AF is associated with both obesity and its metabolic consequences, little is known about the association between metabolically healthy obesity and AF. Methods In a population‐based...

Zusammenfassung:	Objective Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and has been described as a global epidemic. Although AF is associated with both obesity and its metabolic consequences, little is known about the association between metabolically healthy obesity and AF. Methods In a population‐based study, 47,870 adults were followed for incident AF from 2006 to 2008 until 2015. Participants were classified according to BMI and metabolic status (using waist circumference, triglycerides, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose) at baseline. Results During a median follow‐up of 8.1 years, 1,758 participants developed AF. Compared with metabolically healthy individuals with BMI
