Longitudinal studies with large samples and extended follow-up are essential to understand its incidence and risk factors in diverse populations.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>To estimate the incidence over time and identify factors associated with the development of HF among participants of the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A cohort study with 14,854 ELSA-Brasil participants, followed for an average of 12.3 years. A total of 251 individuals with a previous diagnosis of HF at baseline (2008\u20132010) were excluded. Incident cases were identified in visits 2 (2012\u20132014) and 3 (2016\u20132018). Cumulative incidence and incidence rates were estimated. Bivariate comparisons were performed using the chi-square test, while multivariate analysis employed Cox regression to estimate crude and adjusted <jats:italic>Hazard Ratios<\/jats:italic> (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (<jats:italic><jats:italic>95% CI<\/jats:italic><\/jats:italic>).

Incidence was higher among older adults (65\u201374 years), self-reported Black individuals, and those with excess weight. Advanced age and abdominal obesity were risk factors present in both visits, while Chagas disease, valvular heart disease, and smoking were specific predictors in visit 2, and hypertension, rheumatic fever, angina, and fatigue were predictors in visit 3.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec005\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The study highlights the progression of heart
