Association of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) with gout prevalence: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C)-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (NHHR) is a strong lipid marker that has been associated with atherogenic features. This study aimed to investigate the potential association between the NHHR and gout prevalence.

Methods

This study investigated the relationship between the NHHR and gout by analyzing data gathered from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a research study conducted in the United States from 2007 to 2018. All participants in NHANES provided written informed consent prior to participation. The NHHR was calculated as the ratio of non-HDL-C to HDL-C. Total cholesterol (TC) and HDL-C levels were sourced from NHANES laboratory data. Gout was assessed u
