Dietary patterns associated with hyperuricemia among the southeast coastal Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Various foods or food groups and nutrients are correlated with serum uric acid levels. However, the findings were not consistent across different populations, and the mechanisms remain unclear.

Methods

In the baseline survey of the Fuqing Cohort, 4,326 participants were selected from Southeast coastal Chinese communities, and their dietary patterns were derived from a validated food frequency questionnaire using principal component analysis. Logistic regression was used to estimate the risk of hyperuricemia across the quintiles of each dietary pattern.

Results

Based on the parallel analysis, four principal components were retained, explaining 46% of
