Gender-specific association between serum uric acid levels and hypertension in East China: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the correlation between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and the incidence of sex-specific high blood pressure in East China.

Methods

A total of 27,075 patients (14,399 males and 12,676 females) were enrolled in this study. The participants were grouped based on their SUA levels. Thereafter, the quartile (Q1-Q4) nodes of male SUA and female SUA were calculated based on the differences in the mean values of male and female SUA levels. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to evaluate the correlation between SUA and high blood pressure incidence.

Results

SUA expression levels were higher in males than in females. High SUA levels in males were positively correlated with hypertension. In
