Overweight and obesity in patients with atrial fibrillation: Sex differences in 1‐year outcomes in the EORP‐AF General Pilot Registry

Among AF patients, overweight and obesity are common and associated with better outcomes in females (a finding previously reported as "obesity paradox"), while no significant differences in outcomes are detected among male patients. Final multivariable model found that increasing BMI was not associated with increased risk of all-cause death; conversely, age and comorbidities persisted as major determinants.
