ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIM:
Hyperuricemia (HUA) is associated with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular risks in various populations. HUA is also able to induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in mouse models. However, the dose-response effects of serum uric acid (SUA) on the prevalence of MetS and electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are unclear. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
We retrospectively collected data from 18,932 individuals who underwent an annual health examination between 1/1/2016 and 12/31/2016. We excluded those with systemic diseases or missing questionnaires. The primary study endpoints were the prevalence of MetS and LVH, which were defined by the criteria for the Taiwanese population and the "SPRINT" trial. The cohort consisted of 17,913 individuals with a mean age of 31.2 years (SD 7.4) and a mean body mass index of 24.6 kg/m2 (SD 3.6); 87.1% of the individuals were men. The prevalence rates of HUA, MetS, and LVH were 29.5%, 9.4%, and 0.32%, respectively, in the overall study population. The HUA group was predominantly male and had significantly poorer lifestyle choices and greater laboratory cardiometabolic biomarker values than did the normouricemic group. However, the frequencies of physical activity were comparable between the two groups. After adjusting for confounders, SUA was associated with MetS (OR1.473, 95% CI1.408-1.540, P < 0.001) and LVH (OR1.301, 95% CI1.064-1.591, P = 0.01).CONCLUSION:
We demonstrated that the dose-response effects of SUA are associated with the prevalence of MetS and electrocardiographic LVH in healthy individuals from Taiwan. Based on this evidence, future studies should investigate urate-lowering therapy and cardiovascular benefits in individuals with HUA (ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT03473951).Palavras-chave
