Abstract
We investigated the association of serum uric acid to high-density lipoprotein ratio (UHR) with the presence and severity of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among MASHAD cohort participants. In this cross-sectional study, according to International Diabetes Federation criteria, the cohort participants were divided into MetS (+) and MetS (-) groups. MetS (+) were classified into Group 1 (those with 3 MetS criteria), Group 2 (those with 4 MetS criteria) and Group 3 (those with 5 MetS criteria). UHR was compared among the groups. Data related to 9637 subjects including 3824 MetS (+) and 5813 MetS (-) were analysed. The mean UHR was significantly higher (p < .001) in the MetS (+) group compared with the MetS (-) group. UHR increased as the MetS severity increased (p < .001). ROC analysis revealed that UHR greater than 9.5% has 89.07% sensitivity and 77.03% specificity in differentiating MetS (-) from MetS (+) subjects. Among MASHAD cohort study participants, a significant association between UHR and MetS was found. Furthermore, there is an increase in UHR as the severity of MetS increases. Registration number of MASHAD cohort study: 85134.
