“…On the other hand, the western dietary pattern was not associated with asymptomatic hyperuricemia. The "animal products and fried food" and the "soybean products and fruit pattern" we found related to asymptomatic hyperuricemia are consistent with previous reports (4,6,8,15,16). The pattern labeled as "animal products and fried food," which was positively associated with asymptomatic hyperuricemia risk, revealed a clear eating style: these individuals preferred pork, eggs, animal giblets, poultry and fried wheat products combined with low intakes of vegetables and fruits.…”

SummaryIn this study, we conducted a case-control study to evaluate the association of major dietary patterns and asymptomatic hyperuricemia taking account of blood lipids in Chinese adults. 187 cases with confi rmed asymptomatic hyperuricemia and 187 controls were frequency matched on age, gender and area of residence. We conducted factor analysis using dietary information from a validated food frequency questionnaire to derive dietary patterns. The association between major dietary patterns and asymptomatic hyperuricemia was assessed by logistic regression analysis. Three major dietary patterns were found: 1) "animal products and fried food," 2) "western," 3) "soybean products and fruit." In multivariate analyses the "animal products and fried food" pattern score was associated with an odds ratio (OR) of 2.15 (95% CI, 1.22-3.76) compared with the lowest tertile. The OR for the top tertile of score for "soybean products and fruit" pattern was 0.32 (95% CI, 0.19-0.57) compared with the lowest tertile of "soybean products and fruit" pattern score. The significant association of these two patterns and asymptomatic hyperuricemia persisted after further adjusting for blood lipids. On the other hand, the "western" pattern was not associated with asymptomatic hyperuricemia. We observed a positive relationship between the "animal products and fried food" pattern and asymptomatic hyperuricemia, and a negative relationship between the "soybean products and fruit" pattern and asymptomatic hyperuricemia, independent of blood lipids.

“…Such a difference between genders is probably due to the estrogen which purportedly increases urinary excretion of uric acid [11,18]. Poletto et al [18] reported that the prevalence of hyperuricemia, in 1,330 Japanese-Brazilian adults was lower in younger women than in older women (women <55 years, 24%; women ≥55 years, 76%; p < 0.05). Similarly, in the current study, the prevalence of hyperuricemia was significantly higher in men than in women.…”

Comparison of Nutrient Intake and Diet Quality Between Hyperuricemia Subjects and Controls in Korea

Hyperuricemia is associated with metabolic syndrome as well as gout, and the prevalence of hyperuricemia is increasing in Korea. This study aimed to compare the nutrient intake and diet quality between hyperuricemia subjects and controls. Of the 28,589 people who participated in a health examination between 2008 and 2011, 9,010 subjects were selected whose 3-day food records were available. Clinical and laboratory data were collected from electronic medical records. Diet quality was evaluated using the food habit score (FHS), nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR), and mean adequacy ratio (MAR). The prevalence of hyperuricemia was 13.8% (27.1%, men; 5.2%, women). Body mass index, waist circumference, triglycerides, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly higher (p < 0.0001), while high-density cholesterol (p < 0.001) was significantly lower in the hyperuricemia subjects than in the controls. The hyperuricemia subjects had a lower intake of vitamin A (p < 0.004), vitamin C, folate, fiber, and calcium than the controls (p < 0.0001). Intake of vegetables and dairy products was significantly lower, whereas alcohol intake was significantly higher in the hyperuricemia subjects than in the controls ( p < 0.0001). The FHS (p < 0.0001), MAR (p < 0.0001), and NARs for vitamin A (p = 0.01), vitamin B2, vitamin C, folate, and calcium (p < 0.0001) were significantly lower in the hyperuricemia subjects than in the controls. In conclusion, the hyperuricemia subjects reported poorer diet quality than the controls, including higher alcohol intake and lower vegetable and dairy product intake.

“…[18][19][20] However, we do not insist that SUA levels below the Q3 (5.2 mg/dl) level indicate a lesser risk of arterial stiffness. Our study offers a design that controls for creatinine levels, 21 past medical history and medications (uric acidlowering agents and diuretics). As renal function deteriorated in the hypertensive patients, arterial stiffness could be overestimated.…”

Significance of high-normal serum uric acid level as a risk factor for arterial stiffness in healthy Korean men

2012

A high serum uric acid (SUA) level is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, little is known about the relationship between arterial stiffness and uric acid in healthy subjects with a normal SUA level. We assessed whether a high-normal uric acid level increased arterial stiffness by measuring brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV) in healthy subjects. Among 779 subjects who visited the health promotion center, 393 men and 234 women with normal SUA levels (male: 3.5-8.0 mg/dl, female: 2.5-5.4 mg/dl) were divided into quartiles: in men, Q1 (n = 90, 3.5-4.3 mg/dl), Q2 (n = 94, 4.4-5.1 mg/dl), Q3 (n = 106, 5.2-5.9 mg/dl) and Q4 (n = 103, 6.0-8.0 mg/dl); in women, Q1 (n = 57, 2.5-3.6 mg/dl), Q2 (n = 49, 3.7-4.1 mg/dl), Q3 (n = 61, 4.2-4.6 mg/dl) and Q4 (n = 67, 4.7-5.4 mg/dl). The mean values of ba-PWV increased gradually by SUA quartile. The men's SUA had an independent, positive association with ba-PWV after correcting for age, glucose, body mass index, blood pressure, resting heart rate, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and triglyceride (R 2 = 0.39, adjusted R 2 = 0.37, p < 0.001). The odds ratios (95% CI) for high ba-PWVs (> 75th percentile, 1473 cm/s) in men were 1.89 (0.69-5.20, Q2), 2.36 (1.10-5.08, Q3), and 2.91 (1.39-6.11, Q4), after adjusting for confounding factors (p < 0.001). In women, SUA showed no independent association with ba-PWV (p = 0.186). After adjusting for confounding factors, the mean ba-PWV values of Q3 (1418 cm/s) and Q4 (1421 cm/s) in men were higher than those of Q1 (1355 cm/s) (p < 0.05). Above the SUA level of 5.2 mg/ dl, arterial stiffness was increased in healthy Korean men.
