The heterogeneity of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) in hyperuricemia was analyzed in Uygur,Han,and Kazak ethnic groups in Xinjiang.A total of 2 396 subjects were surveyed.The HDL-C levels were significantly decreased in hyperuricemia group compared with control group in Han and Uygur,while the reverse occurred in Kazak.The serum uric acid (SUA) level in Kazak was the lowest.The SUA was negatively correlated with HDL C in Kazak (P ＜ 0.05).HDL-C was a recognized protective factor for cardiovascular disease.With the lowered SUA level in the Kazak group,HDL-C level was increased.When SUA level was higher than a certain level (such as the SUA-4),there existed a negative impact on cardiovascular disease
