AF associations in Japanese adults should not yet alter screening; leaves open need for longitudinal validation of regional prevalence.

Population

41,436 community-dwelling Japanese adults aged ≥40 years in Kurashiki-city, mean age 72.1±11.3 years, 13,963 men.

Outcome

Prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and associated risk factors

The prevalence of atrial fibrillation in community-dwelling Japanese adults aged ≥40 years is approximately 1.6%, which is lower than in Western populations, and is strongly associated with cardiac disease, chronic kidney disease, male sex, and diabetes.
