Correlation between hyperuricemia and renal function in elderly who received health examination / 中华健康管理学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the correlation between hyperuricemia and renal function in elderly who received health examination.Methods:A cross-sectional study. A total of 503 elderly individuals who received health examinations in Beijing Friendship Hospital from August 2020 to June 2021 were selected as the study subjects. The general data and laboratory test results were collected. The logistic regression analysis was applied to analyze the factors affecting hyperuricemia. Spearman correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the association between hyperuricemia and renal function in those subjects.Results:The prevalence of hyperuricemia in the elderly was 19.9%, and multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that drinking( OR=1.785, 95% CI 1.087-2.932), body mass index( OR=1.133,95% CI 1.046-1.226), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol( OR=0.107,95% CI 0.036-0.316) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)( OR=3.290,95% CI 1.699-6.370) were influencing factors of hyperuricemia. The Spearman correlation analysis showed that blood uric acid level was negatively correlated with eGFR in the elderly ( r=-0.278, P<0.001), and after adjusting for drinking history, age, body mass index and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, multiple logistic regression analysis showed that hyperuricemia was an independent risk factor for eGFR<60 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1 ( OR=3.019; 95% CI 1.450-6.284). Conclusion:Drinking, body mass index, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and renal insufficiency increase the risk of hyperuricemia in the elderly, and hyperuricemia is an independent risk factor for renal insufficiency in the elderly.
