Abstract：Objective To evaluate the effect of different BMI levels on the risk of new atrial fibrillation in the general population.Methods Observational studies of the relationship between BMI and the risk of new atrial fibrillation in the general population published in Pubmed and CNKI database before July 2016 were retrieved. Two reviewers independently completed the literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation, and used RevMan 5.3 software for meta-analysis.Results There were 12 articles selected from 685 retrieved articles. Compared with the normal group, the risk of atrial fibrillation increased by 43% (RR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.30~1.57, P<0.00001) in the overweight group, and the risk of AF increased by 89% (RR=1.89, 95%CI: 1.69~2.12, P<0.00001) in the obese group. Compared with the overweight group, the risk of atrial fibrillation in the obese group increased by 32% (RR=1.32, 95%CI: 1.25-1.33,P<0.00001). Compared with the non-obese group, the risk of atrial fibrillation in the obese group increased by 55% (RR=1.55, 95%CI: 1.41~1.69,P<0.00001).Conclusion Overweight and obesity significantly increase the risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation in general population, and there is a graded relationship between increased BMI and increased risk of new-onset AF.
