Sex-specific association of serum uric acid dynamics with the incidence of metabolic syndrome in a health check-up Chinese population: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Many studies have demonstrated that elevated serum uric acid (SUA) level is linked with metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, whether there is a sex difference in the association between SUA and MetS has not been determined. This study aimed to accurately explore the impact of SUA longitudinal changes on MetS by sex.

Design

A prospective cohort study.

Setting

The Health Check-up Centre of the Second Hospital affiliated with Dalian Medical University from 2010 to 2016.

Participants

A health check-up cohort of 577 men and 1698 women aged 20-60 years who did not exhibit MetS or hyperuricaemia at baseline and underwent at least two physical examinations from 2010 to 2016.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Weight, height, blood pressure and blood
