Correlation Between Metabolic Syndrome and Uric Acid in Senior Physical Examination Patients

Objective:To discuss the relationship between metabolic syndrome(MS)and uric acid in senior patients.Methods:To selected 573 senior physical examination patients.The body mass index(BMI)and blood pressure were determined or calculated.The levels of fasting blood-glucose(FBG),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) and uric acid were measured.The correlations of uric acid with other metabolic risk factors were analyzed.Results:In comparison with without MS,the levels of BMI,systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),FBG,TG,TC,LDL-C and uric acid were higher(t=14.014,9.766,9.111,7.214,2.035,2.541,2.765,3.489,all P0.05),while serum HDL-C level was lower in MS(t=-3.125,P0.01);uric acid increased along with MS component number.Spearman analysis showed that BMI was positively correlated with age,SBP and DBP.Logistic regression analysis shows that BMI was an independent risk of uric acid.Conclusion:The present study demonstrates a relationship between uric acid and metabolic syndrome in senior patients.The obesity was an independent risk of uric acid.Future studies are needed to explain underlying mechanisms.
