Abstract
The prevalence of hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome in a Chinese Yi population is 21.0% and 17.1%, respectively.
- Serum uric acid levels were positively correlated with waist circumference, body mass index, and triglycerides.
- Higher serum uric acid levels were negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
- Increased serum uric acid levels were associated with a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components in both sexes.
- Men in the highest quartile of serum uric acid levels had over three times the risk of metabolic syndrome compared to those in the lowest quartile.
- Women with higher serum uric acid levels had increased risks of metabolic syndrome and central obesity but a lower risk of high blood pressure.
