2015
Objective
To survey the prevalence of Hyperuricemia (HUA) in elder population of Changchun city, and to detect the correlation between cardiovascular risk factors and the HUA.
Methods
900 residents older than 55 years were selected randomly for this questionnaire survey. Physical and laboratory examinations were performed.
Results
The HUA prevalence rate elder people in Xixin District of Changchun was 16.0%(144/900), while the rates were 13.7%(50/365), 15.2%(47/309) and 20.8%(47/226) (P 0.05). The HUA prevalence rate was significantly different between people who had different level of blood pressure,cholesterol, hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), body mass index (BMI), waisthip ratio (WHR). The level of uric acid (UA), total cholesterol (TC) and hs-CRP was significantly different in people with high uric acid when compared with those of normal patients (P<0.05). There was positive correlation between UA level and TC, triglyceride (TG) level (r=0.364, P<0.05; r=0.479, P<0.05).
Conclusion
The HUA prevalence rate increases significantly as people getting older. There is positive correlation between the increase of uric acid level and the major cardiovascular risk factor. People with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, overweight and obese have high risk for HUA, so change life style and dietary habits may prevent or reduce the occurrence of HUA.
