Long-term relatively high dietary manganese intake could decrease the risk of hyperuricemia: Twelve-year distinct dietary manganese consumption trajectories and the China Health and Nutrition Survey.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Currently, the relationship between dynamic changes in dietary manganese (Mn) intake and risk of hyperuricemia (HU) is still unclear. This study aimed to identify dietary Mn consumption trajectories in the Chinese adults and assess their relation with the risk of HU. METHODS AND RESULTS: Cohort data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) 1997-2009 were employed in this study. Overall, 6886 adult participants were included. Participants were designated into subgroups based on the trajectories of dietary Mn consumption by sex. Cox proportional hazard models were used to explore the associations between different trajectories and the risk of HU. For men, compared with low stable trajectory group, moderate to high trajectory group was significantly related to reduced risk of HU (HR = 0.61, 95% CI 0.38 to 0.98) with adjustment for covariates. TC, HDL-C, ApoB, and TG exerted partial regulation function between trajectories and HU. For women, compared with low stable trajectory group, high stable trajectory group was significantly related to reduced risk of HU (HR = 0.76, 95% CI 0.60 to 0.95) with adjustment for covariates. Similarly, TC, HDL-C, ApoB, and ApoA exerted partial regulation function between trajectories and HU. CONCLUSIONS: Long-term relatively high dietary Mn consumption may have a protective effect against HU in Chinese adults. The differences in HU-related factors among different dietary Mn intake trajectories partially regulated the association between these trajectories and HU.
