Weight, height, weight change, and risk of incident atrial fibrillation in middle-aged men and women
Background: Anthropometric factors are reported to be risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF), but it is unclear whether weight change in mid‐life is associated with AF. We aimed to study the possible associations of weight, height, and weight change with the risk of incident AF in men and women....

Methods: Our study cohort included 108 417 persons (51% women) who participated in a population‐based health examination in northern Sweden at 30, 40, 50, or 60 years of age.
