ABSTRACT

Total 11 008 subjects underwent routine health check-up at Tianjin General Hospital in 2008. The results showed that the rate of hyperuricemia was 11.56% ( 1272/11 008 ) in this population, 17. 17% ( 1216/7082 ) for male, and 1.43% (56/3926) for female (P ＜0. 05). The serum uric acid levels were positively correlates with body mass index ( r = 0. 346), waist circumference ( r = 0. 449), systolic blood pressure ( r = 0. 193 ), diastolic blood pressure ( r = 0. 240), total cholesterol levels ( r = 0. 240) and triglyceride ester levels ( r = 0. 284 ). The factors including overweight, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycosemia were clustered in subjects with hyperuricemia.
