Abstract
Body mass index, abdominal circumference, and total fat mass are associated with risk of AF for 10Â years among white and black older adults. Obesity is one of a limited number of modifiable risk factors for AF; future studies are essential to evaluate how obesity reduction can modify the incidence of AF.
