“…In a study of French men, serum uric acid was positively related to total cholesterol after adjusting for body fat but not after adjusting for triglyceride (27). A study of Japanese men in Hawaii found a positive relation between serum uric acid and total cholesterol in the univariate analysis (21).…”

The relation between serum uric acid level and cardiovascular risk factors is complex and has been investigated mainly in men. We examined the correlation between serum uric acid level and obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus (DM) in both men and women of a screened cohort in Okinawa, Japan. A total of 9,914 individuals (6,163 men and 3,751 women ranging in age from 18 to 89 years) who were screened at Okinawa General Health Maintenance Association were subjects in this study. Hyperuricemia tality in individuals with ischemic heart disease (7), the specific role of serum uric acid in relation to cardiovascular disease remains unclear.The association between serum uric acid and other cardiovascular risk factors complicates the issue. Increased serum uric acid levels are often accompanied by obesity, dyslipidemia, and hypertension (8-11), all of which are associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease. In Japan, there are reports suggesting a significant correlation between increased serum uric acid level and cardiovascular risk factors in large members of men, but not women (12). Okada et al. (13) showed a significant correlation between serum uric acid and cardiovascular risk factors, but the number of indi-

“…The proportions of children reporting both parents non-smokers (40%), one parent smoking (42%), and both parents smoking (18%) were consistently the same for both sexes and for all age groups. Compared with a study of Paris policemen aged 46 to 52 (Zalokar et al, 1974), less smoking by fathers was reported, but compared with a study of pregnant women in Paris (Schwartz et al, 1972) G. Said, J. Zalokar, J. Lellouch, and E. Patois (Bias can also occur in the opposite direction when parents are asked about their own smoking habits in conjunction with their children's symptoms). This was the reason for our question about appendicectomy; we thought a priori that it would not be associated with parental smoking.…”

SUMMARY Histories of adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy were ascertained, as well as smoking habits of both parents, using questionnaires answered by 3920 schoolchildren aged 10 to 20. Adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy, considered as an index of repeated upper respiratory tract disease in early childhood, was very significantly related to the amount of smoking by each parent. This relationship persisted when age, sex, day nursery attendance, sibship size, and history of appendicectomy were controlled.

“…Tykarski revealed that level of uric acid correlates with body mass index [36]. It was revealed that levels of uric acid in serum stronger correlates with adipose tissue weight, but doesn't correlate with fat-free body mass [37]. A strong positive correlation between level of uric acid in serum and waist to hip ratio was revealed by Lee and associates and it proves that visceral adipose tissue plays an important role in patients with MS [38].…”

The concentration of uric acid in patients with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases

AbstractThe association of elevated serum uric acid (hyperuricemia, gout) with the presence of classical coronary risk factors and coronary artery disease (CAD) or myocardial infarction (MI) has been analysed in many epidemiological studies. Numerous studies have revealed that hypertension, high body mass index (BMI), lipid disorders (especially raised triglyceride (TG) levels and low high dense lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level), and increased creatinine or insulin levels have caused hyperuricemia. Gout has often occurred with typical disorders for the metabolic syndrome X. Significant correlation of the serum uric level and the CAD presence and severity of coronary atherosclerosis confirmed by coronary angiography has been observed in women. Hyperuricemia has also indirect influence on progress of CAD by physical activity restriction, what causes sedentary mode of life and lead to obesity. Therefore, we conducted our study in order to estimate uric acid levels in patients with metabolic syndrome and coexisting cardiovascular system diseases.
