RESUMEN
Objective@#To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of hyperuricemia among adults in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, so as to provide insights into the prevention and intervention of hyperuricemia.@*Methods@#Permanent residents at ages of 18 years and above in 8 counties (cities, districts) of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were sampled using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method from July 2018 to November. Demographic data, smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index and serum uric acid were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examination and laboratory testing. Factors affecting hyperuricemia were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.@*Results@#A total of 4 690 residents were collected, including 2 093 males (44.63%) and 2 597 females (55.37%), and had a mean age of (49.45±14.57) years. There were 1 795 overweight residents (38.27%), 1 198 residents with obesity (25.54%), 983 smokers (20.96%), 1 224 drinkers (26.10%), and 268 residents with hyperuricemia (5.71%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that a higher risk of hyperuricemia was seen among adults who were males (OR=1.409, 95%CI: 1.036-1.917), aged 60 years and above (OR=2.092, 95%CI: 1.495-2.928), had high school education or above (high school, OR=2.003, 95%CI: 1.366-2.937; college and above, OR=4.876, 95%CI: 3.196-7.438), were overweight (OR=2.343, 95%CI: 1.618-3.395) or obese (OR=4.754, 95%CI: 3.291-6.868) and had alcohol consumption (OR=1.494, 95%CI: 1.104-2.020).@*Conclusion@#The risk of hyperuricemia may be associated to gender, age, educational level, body mass index and alcohol consumption among adults in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
