BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that the monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (MHR) is a predictor of various diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetic microangiopathy, and metabolic syndrome. However, there are few scientific reports on the correlation between MHR and serum uric acid. The objective of this report is to explore the relationship between MHR and serum uric acid in Chinese adults. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 646 participants from southwest China who underwent a health examination at the Health Management Center of Deyang People's Hospital. The examination included blood pressure readings, routine blood tests (lipid, fasting glucose, serum transaminase, and serum uric acid levels), and various standardized questionnaires. We employed a generalized additive model and smoothed curve fitting to explore the relationship between MHR and serum uric acid levels. We then performed subgroup analyses to investigate the robustness of this relationship. RESULTS: After adjusting for confounders (age, sex, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, aspartate transaminase, alanine aminotransferase, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, smoking, drinking, and exercise status), MHR was found to be positively correlated with serum uric acid levels (P < 0.001). The smoothing curve showed an approximately linear correlation between MHR and serum uric acid levels, and the linear correlation coefficient was 146.74 (95% CI 96.16-197.33, P < 0.0001). The subgroup analyses showed that the effect of MHR on serum uric acid levels was smaller in occasional smokers and smokers than in nonsmokers (P = 0.0194). CONCLUSION: MHR was significantly and positively correlated with serum uric acid levels. Additionally, the effect of MHR on serum uric acid levels was lower in the individuals who smoked more.
