ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the prevalence of hyperuricemia with hyperlipaemia, high blood sugar and hypertension among elderly people.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Serum uric acid (SUA), cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar and blood pressure were detected in 1320 elderly people and 6107 people at young and middle age.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The mean SUAs in elderly male and female groups were significantly higher than that in young and middle aged male groups respectively (P < 0.05). The prevalence rates of hyperuricemia in elderly male and female groups were significantly higher than in young and middle aged male groups respectively (P < 0.05). The prevalence rates of hyperlipaemia, high blood sugar and hypertension in the elderly people of hyperuricemia were significantly higher than that in the elderly people of normal serum uric acid (P < 0.05). The prevalence rates of hyperuricemia in the elderly people were complicated by hyperlipaemia, high blood sugar and hypertension which was significantly higher than that in young and middle aged people of hyperuricemia (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Hyperuricemia is a common disease in elderly people and more attention should be paid to the closer relations among hyperuricemia with hyperlipaemia, high blood sugar and hypertension among the elderly.</p>
