Do hypothetical lifestyle risk factor modifications prevent atrial fibrillation in men and women?
Hypothetical lifestyle modifications could prevent a significant proportion of atrial fibrillation cases, with a greater potential impact in women than in men.
The population burden of AF could be reduced by modifying lifestyle risk factors. Namely, these modifications could have prevented 41% of AF cases in women and 14% of AF cases in men in the municipality of Tromsø, Norway during a maximum 22-year follow-up period.
