Interaction of genetic risk and lifestyle on the incidence of atrial fibrillation
Conclusions
The rates of AF increased gradually with worse lifestyle within each category of genetic risk. We found a positive interaction on an additive scale between genetic risk and lifestyle, suggesting that risk factor modification is especially important in individuals with a high genetic risk of AF.
