BMI and waist circumference reductions were linked to lower atrial fibrillation risk, with BMI changes stronger in men and waist changes stronger in women, especially in overweight individuals.
Do reductions in BMI, body weight, and waist circumference reduce the risk of incident atrial fibrillation in overweight or obese participants?
Weight loss, measured by BMI in men and waist circumference in women, is associated with a reduced risk of incident atrial fibrillation, particularly in overweight or obese individuals.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Reductions in BMI, body weight, and WC were associated with lower risk of incident AF, particularly in overweight or obese participants. The magnitude of association differed by anthropometric measure and sex, with BMI change showing stronger associations in men and WC change in women. Anthropometric changes may aid risk stratification and inform prevention efforts in higher-risk groups.
