Relationship between hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome and its components

Abstract

Objective To investigate the relationship between hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components.Methods A crosssectional survey with multiple-stages and random samplings was performed in adult persons aged over 18 who underwent health check up.There were 218 cases in hyperuricemia group and 224 cases in normal uric acid group.Then we observed blood glucose,triglyceride,total cholesterol,uric acid,blood pressure and body weight index of the two groups.The prevalence rates of the metabolic syndrome and its components were calculated and analyzed in the two groups.Results The blood glucose,triglyceride,total cholesterol,LDL,blood pressure (SBP/DBP),body weight index were significantly higher in hyperuricemia group than in normal uric acid group(P＜0.01).The prevalence of MS,over weight/obesity,dyslipidoses,hypertension,hyperglycemia were significantly higher in hyperuricemia group than in normal uric acid group(P＜0.01).Hyperuricemia was positively corretated with metabolic syndrome and its components.Conclusions Hyperuricemia is closely related to metabolic and its components.Hyperuricemia is one of the important factors for the metabolic syndrome population.
