Do non-genetic risk factors have a similar impact on new-onset atrial fibrillation in young and old age groups?
Modifiable non-genetic risk factors for atrial fibrillation are equally important across different age groups, highlighting the need for risk factor control in both young and old populations.
Non-genetic risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation may have a similar impact on different age groups. Except for sex, these non-genetic risk factors can be modifiable. Therefore, efforts to control non-genetic risk factors might have relevance for both the young and old.
