Prevalence of hyperuricemia and its influencing factors in examination population

Objective: To investigate the level of uric acid and prevalence of hyperuricemia in examination population from Nanshan Hospital of Shenzhen,and analyze the relative factors of hyperuricemia.Methods: The prevalence of hyperuricemia in 2 900 physical examination people in 2014 were calculated,and the related influencing factors were analyzed by Logistic regression model.Results: The blood uric acid level in man(354.6±83.8) mol/L was significantly higher than that in woman(267.3±61.1) mol/L(P<0.01).The hyperuricemia prevalence rate in man(19.3%) was significantly higher than that in women(11.4%)(P<0.01).The logistic regression analysis showed that the age,male,obesity,hypertension and high triglycerides were the risk factors of hyperuricemia(P<0.05).Conclusions: The serum uric acid level is high in the physical examination population from Nanshan Hospital of Shenzhen,and the age,male,obesity,high blood pressure and high triglyceride are the risk factors of hyperuricemia.
