Figure 2. Hazard ratios and incidence rate (95% CI) of atrial fibrillation associated with quartiles of baseline uric acid in the total sample and stratified by incident hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, or coronary heart disease during follow‐up.

All hazard ratios were adjusted for age, sex, total cholesterol, glucose, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and triglycerides at the time of uric acid measurement. CHD indicates coronary heart disease; HF, heart failure; HR, hazard ratio; IR, incidence rate; and PY, person‐years.
