ABSTRACT
Background:
Scientific societies disagree on serum uric acid (SUA) thresholds for the diagnosis of hyperuricaemia (HU) according to epidemiological or physiochemical criteria (SUA ≥ 7.0 mg/dL for men and ≥6.0 mg/dL for women [HU-7/6]; SUA ≥ 7.0 mg/dL for both genders [HU-7/7], respectively). HU is not included among the diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome or cardiovascular-renal-metabolic syndrome (CKM), although it promotes atherosclerosis and is associated with renal and cardiometabolic diseases. Both issues are of utmost importance and need to be clarified, hence the present study aims to assess the prevalence rates of HU and their associations with CKM factors.Methods:
A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on a random population-based sample of 6489 adults. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed on the most well-known renal and cardiometabolic variables of the populations with and without HU-7/7 and HU-7/6.Results:
The adjusted prevalence rates for HU-7/6 were 13.4% in adult population (18.4% in men; 9.6% in women) and 10.2% (18.4% in men; 3.8% in women) for HU-7/7. The main factors associated independently with HU for both genders were low estimated glomerular filtration rate, hypertension, hypertriglyceridaemia, and alcoholism, regardless of the criteria chosen, as well as albuminuria in women and central obesity in men.Conclusions:
The prevalence rates of HU increase linearly with age for both genders. The associations of CKM factors with HU diagnosed according to physiochemical criterion are more similar between men and women than those using epidemiological criteria.
