In a study of nearly 7000 men, large body size at age 20 and subsequent weight
gain emerged as important predictors of the development of AF later in life.
Men who fell in the top category in terms of body size at age 20 were twice as
likely to develop AF as those that fell in the lowest body size category.

"Atrial fibrillation proved to be significantly more common both among those
men who were big during their youth, as well as among those who gained a
considerable amount of weight later on in life," Dr. Annika Rosengren, from
Sahlgrenska Academy, Goteberg, Sweden, noted in a statement.
