Do impaired fasting glucose and prehypertension increase the risk of new onset atrial fibrillation in a healthy Asian population without underlying disease?
Prehypertension and impaired fasting glucose are significant risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation even in healthy individuals without comorbidities, particularly those with a BMI <25 kg/m2.
Even in a healthy Asian populations without comorbidities, prehypertension and IFG were important risk factors of AF. Specifically, when prehypertension, including systolic and diastolic BPs, was finally combined with the IFG, the risk of new onset AF was increased especially in the BMI <25 kg/m2 group.
