Crossˉsectional analysis on relation between smoking and serum uric acid level / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To understand the relation between smoking and serum uric acid level and to investigate whether the ser-um uric acid has the correlation with the gender,age and smoking history.Methods The data of the gender,age,blood uric acid in1 847 individuals aged 20-80 years with the healthy physical examination and without underlying diseases were performed the statisti-cal analysis.Results With male and female as the research objects,the serum uric acid level of smokers were higher than that of non-smokers and occasional smokers,the difference was statistically significant;the serum uric acid level had no statistically signifi-cant difference between smokers and occasional smokers;the serum uric acid level had no statistically significant difference among non-smoking,occasional smoking and smoking groups for males as the research objects alone;to divide the male subjects into groups according to age,the serum uric acid level of non-smokers,occasional smokers and smokers were not statistically significant among all age groups;serum uric acid level showed the increasing trend with the increase of smoking history,but there was no statistically significant difference.Conclusion The serum uric acid level of smokers is significantly higher than that of non-smokers and occa-sional smokers with male and female as the research objects;the difference in serum uric acid level between smokers and occasional smokers has no statistical significance;excluding the gender factor interference,the serum uric acid level of males is not affected by smoking or age;serum uric acid mean value demonstrates the increasing trend with the increase of smoking history.
