Why the study?
Fasting and postload glucose and non-esterified fatty acids reflect different facets of metabolic regulation, and their respective concurrent contributions to AF risk remained unclear.
Do elevated fasting and post-load glucose and NEFA levels increase the risk of incident atrial fibrillation in older adults?
Do elevated fasting and post-load glucose and NEFA levels increase the risk of incident atrial fibrillation in older adults?
Post-load glucose, but not fasting glucose or NEFA, is independently associated with an increased risk of incident atrial fibrillation in advanced old age, particularly among women.
