Purpose: To investigate the modifying role of obesity in the association between abnormal glucose metabolism and atrial fibrillation (AF) risk in older individuals.

Methods: From April 2007 to November 2011, 11663 participants aged ≥60 years were enrolled in Shandong area. Glucose metabolic status were determined using fasting plasma glucose and hemoglobin A1c levels, obesity determined using body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and visceral fat area (VFA).

Obesity is a serious health threat, which has affected 16% of adults globally in 2022 and shows a trend toward youthfulness. Leptin, as a regulator of body weight, can suppress appetite and promote energy expenditure, making it potential in obesity treatment. Nevertheless, with the progress of relevant research, it is worth noting that monotherapy with leptin is not an effective strategy since most obese individuals are hyperleptinemic and resistant to leptin, where high levels of leptin fail to exert its weight-loss effects.
