Abstract EN
The increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) has become an important issue worldwide.
Metabolic comorbidities of hypertension, obesity, and hyperlipidemia are shown as important risk factors for incident gout.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between hyperuricemia and MetS.
This is a cross-sectional study.
The effective sample included 21,544 individuals who received worker health examinations at a local teaching hospital in Changhua County from 2008~2012.
We used multiple logistic regression analysis to investigate the influences of hyperuricemia on MetS.
The results showed that individuals with MetS had significantly higher blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, triglycerides, waist circumference, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol than those without MetS ( P < 0.
001 ) .
Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed hyperuricemia to be an important factor of MetS.
The risk of developing MetS is higher with high levels of serum uric acid (SUA) and the odds ratio (OR) of having MetS is 4.98 times higher for Tertile 3 than for Tertile 1 (95% CI = 4.16–5.97) and 4 times higher for Quartile 4 than for Quartile 1 (95% CI = 3.59–4.46).
In conclusion, males are more likely to develop MetS than females, and the risk of having MetS increases with age and SUA concentration.
