Abstract
The modification of physical activity (PA) on the metabolic status in relation to atrial fibrillation (AF) in obesity remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the independent and joint associations of metabolic status and PA with the risk of AF in obese population. Based on the data from UK Biobank study, we used Cox proportional hazards models for analyses. Metabolic status was categorized into metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO). PA was categorized into four groups according to the level of moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA): none, low, medium, and high. A total of 119,424 obese participants were included for analyses. MHO was significantly associated with a 35% reduced AF risk compared with MUO (HR = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.57-0.73). No significant modification of PA on AF risk among individuals with MHO was found. Among the MUO participants, individuals with medium and high PA had significantly lower AF risk compared with no MVPA (HR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.74-0.95, and HR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.78-0.96 for medium and high PA, respectively). As the severity of MUO increased, the modification of PA on AF risk was elevated accordingly. To conclude, MHO was significantly associated with a reduced risk of AF when compared with MUO in obese participants. PA could significantly modify the relationship between metabolic status and risk of AF among MUO participants, with particular benefits of PA associated with the reduced AF risk as the MUO severity elevated.</p>
