Association between asymptomatic hyperuricemia and risk of arthritis, findings from a US National Survey 2007-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Arthritis is thought to be closely related to serum uric acid. The study aims to assess the association between asymptomatic hyperuricemia (AH) and arthritis.

Methods

A multistage, stratified cluster was used to conduct a cross-sectional study of adult US civilians aged≥20 years from the 2007-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Participants with hyperuricemia and without hyperuricemia prior to gout were included. A questionnaire was used to determine whether participants had arthritis and the type of arthritis. Logistic regression was used to investigate the association between hyperuricemia and arthritis.

Result

During the past 12 years, the percentage of participants with arthritis changed from 25.95% (22.53%-29.36%) to 25.53% (21.62%-2
