Hyperuricemia is associated with more cardiometabolic risk factors in hypertensive younger Chinese adults than in elderly.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Numerous studies have shown that hyperuricemia (HUA) is associated with cardiovascular and renal outcomes, but few studies specifically explored the effect of age on this relationship. Therefore, our study aimed to explore the relationship between HUA and other cardiometabolic risk factors in different age groups.

Methods

This cross-section study used the data from Survey on uric acid in Chinese subjects with essential hypertension (SUCCESS). We performed multivariate logistic regressions in different age groups.

Results

After adjusting for potential confounders, among young and middle-aged adults less than 60, HUA was associated with higher body mass index (BMI, adjusted OR = 1.114, 95% CI: 1.057-1.174), higher fasting blood glucose (FBG, adjusted OR = 1.0
