Association between hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome: A cross-sectional study in Tibetan adults on the Tibetan plateau.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to assess the relationship of serum uric acid with metabolic syndrome and its components in Tibetan adults on the Tibetan plateau.

Methods

A total of 307 participants were enrolled in this study and biochemical parameters including serum uric acid, fasting plasma glucose, white blood cell, lymphocyte count, mononuclear cells, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine, and lipid profile were analyzed using standard methods. The IDF criteria were applied to define metabolic syndrome. The association of serum uric acid with metabolic syndrome and its components was evaluated by multivariable logistic regression models.

Results

The overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 17.3% (53/307) with 19.6% (31/158) in females and
