Abstract

To survey the serum uric acid (SUA) levels and associated risk factors of hyperuricemia among youth and middle-aged residents in Guangzhou. A total of 1420 subjects, aged from 20 to 60 years, receiving health check-up at our hospital in 2010 were enrolled. The total prevalence of hyperuricemia was 22.04%, 32.01% in males and 14.07% in females. The average SUA was (388±78) μmol/L in males and (288±63) μmol/L in females. The prevalence of hyperuricemia in males was 30.11% before 40 years of age and 33.81% between 40 and 60 years of age. The average level of SUA in males was significantly higher than that of females. logistic regression analysis showed that BUN, body mass index (BMI) and hypertriglyceridemia were the independent risk factors of disease while HDL-C and gender (females) the protective factors. Key words: Hyperuricemia; Risk factors
