Sex Differences in the Impact of Body Mass Index on the Risk of Future Atrial Fibrillation: Insights From the Longitudinal Population‐Based Tromsø Study

BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) prevalence is increasing, and body mass index (BMI) is a risk factor for AF. However, sex differences in the impact of BMI on AF risk have not been fully elucidated. Methods and ResultsData from the fourth survey (1994–1995) of the Tromsø Study (Norway) were used t...
