Combining body mass index and waist height ratio to assess the relationship between obesity and serum uric acid levels in adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The study aims to explore the relationship between obesity and serum uric acid in adolescents by combining body mass index and waist height ratio.

Methods

475 adolescents in our study were classified as normal weight without central obesity (NW), normal weight but central obesity (NWCO), overweight or obesity without central obesity (OB) and overweight or obesity with central obesity (OBCO). Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for hyperuricemia were calculated using a logistic regression model. The dose-response association between obesity indicators and serum uric acid were explored by restricted cubic spline model.

Results

The highest serum uric acid level and the OR for hyperuricemia were found in the OBCO group, regardless of sex. After c
