We used Cox models to assess non-linear associations and gene\u2013environment (G \u00d7 E) interactions on both additive and multiplicative scales and quantile-based g-computation to evaluate mixture effects. During follow-up for a median 12.3-years (IQR: 11.70, 13.23), 27 655 participants (mean age 56.5, SD 8.1; 54.8 female) developed AF, with 12.3% progressing to HF. Life-course exposure to components such as EC was associated with increased risks for both incident AF (HR per 1-SD increase: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.04) and progression to HF (HR: 1.04; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.08), often with non-linear threshold effects. We also identified a stage-dependent G \u00d7 E interaction, shifting from a significant multiplicative interaction for incident AF to an additive interaction for the progression to HF, with a relative excess risk due to interaction of up to 0.46.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n
