The risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) according to the dipstick proteinuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate in the Follow-up Cohort. The positive correlation between atrial fibrillation development and the degree of dipstick proteinuria was consistent across all three categories of estimated glomerular filtration rate. Hazard ratios were calculated using a Cox proportional model adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise frequency, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, stroke, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. AF, atrial fibrillation; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate
