Gout and the risk of type 2 diabetes among men with a high cardiovascular risk profile

Abstract

These findings from men with a high cardiovascular risk profile suggest that men with gout are at a higher future risk of type 2 diabetes independent of other known risk factors. These data expand on well-established, cross-sectional associations between hyperuricaemia, gout and the metabolic syndrome, and extend the link to the future risk of type 2 diabetes.

“…Previous studies as well as this study reported that serum uric acid is more closely associated with impaired fasting glucose [34]- [40].…”

“…В послед-ние годы стали появляться работы, свидетель-ствующие, что она может быть фактором рис-ка (ФР) развития болезней, которые могут обусловливать сокращение продолжительно-сти жизни пациентов [4][5][6], однако данные исследования немногочисленны и этот воп-рос требует дополнительного изучения.…”

Study of serum uric acid levels in diabetics and its association with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular morbidity

“…A large epidemiological study [23] of Japanese adult men showed that an elevation of serum uric acid levels increased the risk of type 2 diabetes. Dehghan et al [24] demonstrated that serum uric acid is a strong and independent risk factor for diabetes in a 10-year follow-up study. Other studies [25] demonstrated a significant linear regression between serum uric acid levels and incident type 2 diabetes.…”
