Risk factor changes and incident atrial fibrillation among middle-aged men in the Malmö Preventive Project cohort
(2016) In European Heart Journal Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy 2(2). p.81-87- Abstract
- Aims: To determine whether risk factor changes over 6 years were associated with the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF)
among middle-aged men in the Malmo ̈ Preventive Project (MPP) cohort.
Methods and results: In total, 5633 men (mean age 47.0 years at baseline) underwent two screening examinations, separated by an average of
6 years. The annual rate at which systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), weight, fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood glucose at 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and screening spirometry values changed was
calculated and analysed in relation to incident AF, using Cox and competing risks regression to determine hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Mean...

cant associations were found between the annual increase of SBP (HR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01 – 1.07, P=0.003 per mmHg),DBP (HR: 1.06, 95% CI: 1.01 – 1.1, P=0.024 per mmHg), FBG (HR: 2.11, 95% CI: 1.44 – 3.12, P=0.0001 per mmol/L),

screening year, and low socioeconomic status.
Conclusion: The age-adjusted annual rates of increase in SBP, DBP, weight, and FBG in mid-life are associated with AF incidence in men. This raises the question of whether preventive measur (Less)
