Prevalence and risk factors of hyperuricemia in physical examination population of Shenyang City in 2013-2020 / 公共卫生与预防医学

ABSTRACT

Objective  To analyze the prevalence and risk factors of hyperuricemia (HUA) in Shenyang City, and to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of HUA in this region. Methods From January 2013 to December 2020, 98,327 subjects who underwent physical examination in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University in Shenyang were selected. The detection rate of HUA was calculated, and the risk factors of HUA were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results From 2013 to 2020, the overall prevalence of HUA was 22.48%, 30.75% in males and 9.13% in females. The prevalence rate in the male was significantly higher than that in the female (P<0.05). Except for a slight decrease in 2015 and 2020, the total prevalence rate showed an increasing trend year by year. With the increase of age, the prevalence of HUA in males decreased, while in females, it decreased slightly from 40 to 59 years old and increased significantly after 60 years old. With the increase of BMI (Body Mass Index), the prevalence of HUA also increased, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that male, body mass index, physical examination year, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, triglyceride, LDL-C, abnormal liver and renal function were positively correlated with HUA, while age and HDL-C were negatively correlated with HUA. Conclusion  HUA occurs mainly in male people among physical examination population in Shenyang. With the increase of BMI, HUA increases.
