Association between metabolically healthy obesity and risk of atrial fibrillation: taking physical activity into consideration
Bibliographic record
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.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
