The association between perceived stress and atrial fibrillation (AF) remains unclear. To examine the association between perceived stress and AF. A total of 25,530 participants (mean age: 65 ± 9.4 years; 54% women; 41% blacks) from the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study were included in this analysis. Logistic regression was used to compute odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between the short version of the Cohen Perceived Stress Scale and AF. In a multivariable analysis adjusted for demographics, cardiovascular risk factors, and potential confounders, the prevalence of AF was found to increase with higher levels of perceived stress (none: OR=1.0, referent; low stress: OR=1.12, 95%CI=0.98, 1.27; moderate stress: OR=1.27, 95%CI=1.11, 1.47; high stress: OR=1.60, 95%CI=1.39, 1.84). Increasing levels of perceived stress are associated with prevalent AF in REGARDS.
