Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Is Associated with Increased Atrial Fibrillation Risk in an Elderly Chinese Population: A Cross-Sectional Study

Table 3

Association between NAFLD and risk of prevalent AF in patients in an elderly population. Model 1: age and gender; model 2: age, gender, systolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, high-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides; model 3: model 2 plus total cholesterol and albumin.

NAFLD (yes compared with no)	OR (95% CI)	P-value
Unadjusted model	1.95 (1.03-3.69)	0.041
Adjusted model 1	2.24 (1.18-4.29)	0.014
Adjusted model 2	2.72 (1.30-5.67)	0.008
Adjusted model 3	2.76 (1.32-5.77)	0.007
Other independent predictors of AF in model 2
Age	1.11 (1.05-1.18)	0.001
γ-glutamyl transpeptidase	1.01 (1.01-1.02)	0.001

NAFLD, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; AF, atrial fibrillation.
