Association of healthy lifestyle and the incidence of atrial fibrillation in senior adults: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Limited evidence was available on the association of the integrated effect of multidimensional lifestyle factors with AF incidence among Chinese old adults. This cohort study was to examine the effect of combined lifestyle factors on AF risk among Chinese older adults.

Methods

A total of 3,253 adults aged 60 years or more from the Guangzhou Heart Study were successfully followed up. The healthy lifestyle score (HLS) was established using a weighted approach from seven dimensions of lifestyles, including diet quality, leisure-time physical activity, sleep quality, alcohol drinking, smoking, mental status, and waist-to-hip ratio. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were estimated using the Cox proportional hazard regression model.
