    Abstract Background: Cardiometabolic diseases increase the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF), a complication leading to higher long-term risk of major cardiovascular events (MACE). It remains unknown whether the impact of these risk factors differs according to sex. We sought to evaluate the sex-specific predictors of POAF after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
    Methods: In a prospective registry of patients undergoing isolated CABG, we compared predictors of POAF between sexes with logistic regression models. Due to high prevalence of abdominal obesity in women, >80% having a waist circumference (WC) ≥88cm, median WC values were used to define abdominal obesity (men ≥102 cm, women ≥100 cm).
    Results: This analysis included 6,177 individuals (17% women). Mean age was 65.6±8.9 years. POAF occurred in 32% of men and 28% of women (p<0.05). Compared to men, women with POAF had similar WC, higher prevalence of hypertension and diabetes, lower HDL-cholesterol and higher glucose, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol, and C-reactive protein levels (all p<0.05). After adjustment, age and abdominal obesity were associated with POAF in both sexes (p<0.05). The interaction of WC with sex suggested a worse impact of WC on POAF risk among women (adjusted OR=1.97[95%CI 1.48-2.62] vs. in men 1.33[95%CI 1.17-1.50], p for interaction=0.01).
    Conclusions: Abdominal obesity is a major predictor of POAF in both sexes, with higher risk in women. These results emphasize the need for enhanced strategies to manage abdominal obesity and its cardiometabolic consequences in the general population, and the potential to develop sex-specific preventive interventions to reduce POAF risk.

    Abstract Objectives: To assess the prevalence of arterial hypertension among Inuit adults living in Nunavik (northern Quebec, Canada) in 2017 and identify its sociodemographic and lifestyle determinants.
    Methods: We used data obtained from 1177 Inuit adults aged ≥ 18 years who participated in the cross-sectional Qanuilirpitaa? Nunavik Inuit Health Survey during late summer-early fall of 2017. Resting blood pressure (BP) and anthropometric characteristics were measured during a clinical session, while sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle habits were documented using validated questionnaires. Information on current medication was retrieved from medical files. Sex-stratified population-weighted log-binomial regressions were conducted to identify determinants of hypertension, adjusting for potential confounders.
    Results: Hypertension (systolic BP ≥ 140 mm Hg or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg or taking antihypertensive medication) was present in 23% of the adult population and was more frequent in men than women (29% vs. 18%). About a third of hypertensive individuals (34%) were taking antihypertensive medication. These estimates are prone to biases due to the relatively low participation rate (37%). As expected, the prevalence of hypertension increased with age, but values were surprisingly elevated in 18 to 29-year-old men and women (18% and 8%, respectively) compared with 20 to 39-year-old adults of the general Canadian population (3% in both sexes, according to data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey, 2012-2015). Hypertension was associated with obesity and alcohol consumption in both men and women, and with higher socioeconomic status among men.
    Conclusion: This survey revealed a high prevalence of hypertension among young Nunavimmiut adults in 2017 and the need to improve hypertension diagnosis and treatment in the region. Curbing obesity and alcohol consumption, two actionable determinants of hypertension, will require improving food security and addressing the consequences of historical trauma linked to colonization.
