“…Our findings cannot be taken to support this concept as far as the UK as a whole is concerned since, although the prevalence of hyperuricaemia in the men (Table 6) was higher than in one previous survey (Popert and Hewitt, 1962), it was very close to that in the other English group (Finn et al, 1966). Selection factors may explain, at least in part, national and international differences, though much higher prevalence rates for hyperuricaemia were found in the French and one Australian study (Zalokar et al, 1972;Jeremy and Towson, 1971). Similar considerations apply to the women although here there appeared to be closer agreement.…”

“…They are also higher in men than those in a Finnish survey (Isomaki and Takkunen, 1969). They are similar to those of two surveys in the USA (Mikkel- Hall et al, 1967), a large French survey (Zalokar et al, 1972), and a smaller British study (Finn et al, 1966). They are considerably lower in both men and women than one other American survey (Acheson and O'Brien, 1966) and three Australasian surveys (Evans et al, 1969;Jeremy and Towson, 1971;Garrick et al, 1972).…”

SUMMARY Serum uric acid (SUA) was measured in 512 men and 254 women from two English regions and in 337 men from one Scottish region. Mean SUA levels were the same in the men (5-5 mg/100 ml) and similar in the women (3-9 and 4-1 mg/100 ml). The apparent rarity of gout in Scotsmen cannot be explained by regional differences in SUA levels or in the prevalence of hyperuricaemia (defined as SUA of 7.0 mg/100 ml or over) which was present in 6.6% of the English men and 8 of the Scots

“…However, despite the high prevalence reported in this Kuwaiti study, no cases of gout were reported. The 8% prevalence of hyperuricemia in our male sample is again lower than that reported from France (17%) and much lower than the ®gures originating from the Malayo-Polynesian nations [4,6].…”

The objective of this prospective study was to determine the prevalence of hyperuricemia and gout in a sample of Saudi individuals and their relationship to certain risk factors, namely, obesity, serum glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, age, and sex. A total of 487 Saudis (250 males and 237 females) from 14 primary care clinics were interviewed, examined, and investigated. The mean age for the males was 46.89 +/- 17.01 years (range 14-83) and for the females 45.08 +/- 13.67 years (range 21-80). Serum uric acid (SUA) values above 420 micromol/l for males and 360 micromol/l for females were considered to be high. Of the 487 individuals, 41 (8.42%; 20 males and 21 females) had hyperuricemia. The mean SUA was 308.41 +/- 90.64 micromol/l for males and 254.59 +/- 85.79 micromol/l for females. In females, uric acid levels correlated significantly with age, body mass index (BMI), serum creatinine, and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), but not with serum cholesterol or triglycerides. In males, uric acid levels only correlated significantly with BMI and serum creatinine. No case of gout was found.

Hyperuricemia and Cardiovascular Risk Factor Clustering in a Screened Cohort in Okinawa, Japan

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-
