Prevalence of and trends in hyperuricemia by race and ethnicity among US adolescents, 1999-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Our objective was to ascertain the most recent prevalence and trends of hyperuricemia among adolescents, stratified by sex and race/ethnicity subgroups, as well as to investigate potential risk factors associated with hyperuricemia in US adolescents.

Methods

Data were obtained from adolescents aged 12-17 years in the 1999-2018 NHANES cycles. Hyperuricemia for adolescents was defined as ≥ 5.5 mg/dL. The prevalence of hyperuricemia, along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), was calculated for each four-year survey cycle, stratified by sex, race/ethnicity, body mass index (BMI), poverty income ratio (PIR), and parental education levels. Linear regression and logistic regression analyses were conducted independently to evaluate the linear trends in mean serum urate leve
