Abstract
Children with JIA presented with a worse cardiometabolic profile and a greater disease severity across UA quartiles. Our findings suggest that in clinical practice, UA might represent a useful marker of cardiometabolic risk and disease severity in children with JIA. •JIA has been linked to metabolic derangements in adulthood. • UA has been recognized as a marker of cardiometabolic risk both in adults and children. •Children with JIA belonging to the highest UA quartile showed a worse cardiometabolic profile and a greater disease severity. • UA might represent a helpful marker not only of cardiometabolic risk but also of disease severity in children with JIA.
