Popis: Background: The risk for thromboembolism depending on the different age subgroups in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) has not been fully elucidated. Methods: The Fushimi AF Registry is a community-based prospective survey of patients with AF in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto. Follow-up data were available for 4,466 patients by the end of 2019. Clinical determinants and the description of variables which interact and lead to the incidence of thromboembolism (the composite of ischemic stroke and systemic embolism [SE]) were identified in overall population and in age subgroups (≤64, 65–74, and ≥ 75 years). Results: A total of 314 patients developed thromboembolism during the median follow-up of 1,610 days (1.56 per 100 person-years). The independent determinants were age advance (per 10 years, hazard ratio [HR]: 1.51, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.22–1.86, P
