Serum Uric Acid Is Associated with Insulin Resistance in Non-Diabetic Subjects.

ABSTRACT: Background: Glucose metabolism disorders are major contributors to morbidity and mortality. Elevated serum uric acid (SUA) is closely linked to the cardiometabolic consequences of glucose metabolism disorders, various other comorbidities, and mortality. In this study, we explore the relationship between SUA and fasting plasma glucose (FPG), insulin levels, and insulin resistance in an older Finnish adult cohort. Methods: We used data from the GOAL (GOod Ageing in Lahti region) study-a prospective, population-based study of Finnish individuals aged 52-76 years. A total of 2322 non-diabetic subjects were included in the study. Data of SUA, FPG, and other laboratory parameters, comorbidities, lifestyle habits, and socioeconomic factors were collected. Subjec
