Objective.-To determine the independent risk factors for atrial fibrillation. Design.-Cohort study. Setting.-The Framingham Heart Study. Subjects.-A total of 2090 men and 2641 women members of the original cohort, free of a history of atrial fibrilltation, between the ages of 55 and 94 years. Main Outcome Measures.-Sex-specific multiple logistic regression models to identify independent risk factors for atrial fibrillation, including age, smoking, diabetes, electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy, hypertension, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and valve disease. Results.-During up to 38 years of follow-up, 264 men and 298 women developed atrial fibrillation, After adjusting for age and other risk factors for atrial fibrillation, men had a 1.5 times greater risk of developing atrial fibrillation than women. In the full multivariable model, the odds ratio (OR) of atrial fibrillation for each decade of advancing age was 2.1 for men and 2.2 for women (P
