Abstract
ABSTRACT This study aimed to examine the impact of hyperuricemia on various thyroid disorders with emphasized focus on differences resulting from different genders. 16094 adults aged ≥18 years were enrolled in this cross-sectional study using a randomized stratified sampling strategy. Clinical data including thyroid function and antibodies, uric acid, and anthropometric measurements were measured. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the association between hyperuricemia and thyroid disorders. Women who have hyperuricemia are at a significantly increased risk of developing hyperthyroidism. Women’s risk of overt hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease may be markedly increased by hyperuricemia. Men with hyperuricemia did not differ significantly in their chance of acquiring any thyroid disorders.
