Prevalence of hyperuricemia and the analysis of blood uric acid and creatinine in 5883 inhabitants

[Objective] To explore the prevalence of hyperuricemia and to investigate the relationship between the blood uric acid and creatinine in 5883 inhabitants in Dalian area.[Methods] Concentrations of blood uric acid and creatinine in 5883 healthy citizens in Dalian area were investigated.[Results](1) The prevalence of hyperuricemia was 14.7% in this population,while 21.3% in males and 4.6% in females,which showed that the prevalence of hyperuricemia in males was significantly higher than in females(P0.001).(2) The prevalence of hyperuricemia was 21.9% to 27.0% in the groups of those who were younger than 50 years old in males,while 18.0% to 21.4% in those who were older than 50 years.(3) The prevalence of hyperuricemia was 4.7% to 5.8% in the groups of those who were younger than 50 years old in females,while 1.2% to 6.3% in those who were older than 50 years.(4) No matter in men or women,there was no significant difference in the level of creatinine before 70 years old.(P0.05).After 70 years old,the concentration of creatinine was higher,and comparing with the groups of those who were younger than 70 year old,the difference is significant(P0.05).[Conclusions](1) The prevalence of hyperuricemia is high in population of Dalian,and it is higher in males than that in females.Especially,it happens in more and more young people.(2) In people that are younger than 70,the concentrations of creatinine have no significant difference between male and female,while it is higher in both who are older than 70,and the same occurs in blood uric acid.
