Association of Hyperuricemia with 10-Year Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk among Chinese Adults and Elders. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19116713. [PMID: 35682297 PMCID: PMC9180408 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19116713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2022] [Revised: 05/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to use a representative sample of the Chinese population and the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk assessment tool developed specifically for the Chinese to explore the prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) and the relationship between hyperuricemia and 10-year ASCVD risk in Chinese adults. Data was collected from the Chinese Physiological Constant and Health Condition survey. In this study, 12,988 subjects aged between 35 and 74 were selected by two-stage, cluster and random sampling. The sex-specific 10-year ASCVD risk scores equations, which were conducted by China-PAR project and specifically designed for Chinese adults, were used to assess the risk of developing ASCVD 10 years later. The ordinal regression model was used to explore the relationship between hyperuricemia and ASCVD risk. The total prevalence of hyperuricemia was 12.69%, and males’ prevalence was significantly higher than females (17.7% vs. 8.5%). Compared with people without hyperuricemia, the 10-year ASCVD risk scores of female with hyperuricemia increased significantly, but no significant increased happened in male. The ordinal regression model indicated that hyperuricemia subjects were 1.3 (males, 95% CI: 1.11–1.52) and 4.34 (females, 95% CI: 3.16–5.91) times more likely to increase their ASCVD risk levels than those without hyperuricemia. In conclusion, Hyperuricemia is prevalent among Chinese adults. In both genders, hyperuricemia was related with higher risk of 10-year ASCVD, and the relationship is much stronger in females than in males. Thus, sex-specific serum uric acid management and intervention strategies should be done in the prevention and control of cardiovascular events.

Gender Difference in the Relationships between Inflammatory Markers, Serum Uric Acid and Framingham Risk Score. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18137103. [PMID: 34281041 PMCID: PMC8297121 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18137103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2021] [Revised: 06/27/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to explore the role of gender in the relation of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), white blood cell (WBC) count, and serum uric acid (UA) to the risk of future cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. In total, 404 workers were recruited to obtain the measurements of serum markers for CVD risk. Demographic data, nutrition, exercise, smoking, and alcohol consumption were assessed through a questionnaire. The Framingham Risk Score (FRS) was adopted to estimate the risk of future CVD events. Multiple linear regression models were used to determine CVD risk markers in relation to the FRS by gender. The hsCRP was not significantly correlated with the FRS for all workers after adjusting for covariates, including demographic data and health-related lifestyle. WBC count was positively correlated with FRS for all workers, but WBC count did not show an interaction with gender with respect to the FRS. Serum UA showed an interaction with gender on the FRS, and UA positively correlated with the FRS in males though not in females. With respect to CVD prevention, the WBC count can be used to monitor the risk for all workers. Due to a gender difference shown in the relationship between serum UA and the FRS, serum UA can be a monitor of the risk of future CVD events in male workers only.

Abstract
This study aims to establish a diagnostic model of coronary heart disease (CHD) for diabetic foot (DF) patients.The clinical data of 489 hospitalized patients with DF were retrospectively analyzed in this case-control study. The patients were divided into the CHD group (DF with CHD, n = 212) and the control group (DF without CHD, n = 277). Univariate analysis was performed to screen for CHD-related risk factors, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine significant CHD risk factors. Scores were assigned according to the ratio of risk factors (OR) to establish a diagnostic model of CHD for patients with DF. The area under the ROC curve was used to test the application value of the diagnostic model.The logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for CHD in DF patients were age, duration of diabetes, toe-brachial index, hyperuricemia, and chronic renal insufficiency. The area under the ROC curve of the diagnostic model was 0.798 (0.759-0.837), the diagnostic point of CHD was 6 points, the diagnostic sensitivity was 69.3%, and the specificity was 76.5%.The established model has good diagnostic value and provides the basis for preliminary screening for CHD in patients with DF.

TyG-er: An ensemble Regression Forest approach for identification of clinical factors related to insulin resistance condition using Electronic Health Records. Comput Biol Med 2019; 112:103358. [PMID: 31336327 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2019.103358] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2019] [Revised: 06/17/2019] [Accepted: 07/15/2019] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance is an early-stage deterioration of Type 2 diabetes. Identification and quantification of insulin resistance requires specific blood tests; however, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index can provide a surrogate assessment from routine Electronic Health Record (EHR) data. Since insulin resistance is a multi-factorial condition, to improve its characterisation, this study aims to discover non-trivial clinical factors in EHR data to determine where the insulin-resistance condition is encoded. METHODS We proposed a high-interpretable Machine Learning approach (i.e., ensemble Regression Forest combined with data imputation strategies), named TyG-er. We applied three different experimental procedures to test TyG-er reliability on the Italian Federation of General Practitioners dataset, named FIMMG_obs dataset, which is publicly available and reflects the clinical use-case (i.e., not all laboratory exams are prescribed on a regular basis over time). RESULTS Results detected non-conventional clinical factors (i.e., uricemia, leukocytes, gamma-glutamyltransferase and protein profile) and provided novel insight into the best combination of clinical factors for detecting early glucose tolerance deterioration. The robustness of these extracted clinical factors was confirmed by the high agreement (from 0.664 to 0.911 of Lin's correlation coefficient (rc)) of the TyG-er approach among different experimental procedures. Moreover, the results of the three experimental procedures outlined the predictive power of the TyG-er approach (up to a mean absolute error of 5.68% and rc=0.666,p<.05). CONCLUSIONS The TyG-er approach is able to carry information about the identification of the TyG index, strictly correlated with the insulin-resistance condition, while extracting the most relevant non-glycemic features from routine data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The potential effect of cigarette smoking on levels of serum urate and risk of gout has been considered by a large number of studies, either as the primary variable of interest or as a covariate. METHODS Here we systematically review the published evidence relating to the relationship of smoking with serum urate, hyperuricaemia, and gout. RESULTS Many studies have reported that smoking reduces serum urate, however, the evidence has not been conclusive with other studies pointing to the opposite or no effect. It has also been suggested that smoking reduces the risk of gout, although there is some evidence to contradict this finding. CONCLUSION A consensus has yet to be reached as to the effect of smoking on serum urate levels and the risk of gout.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the relationship between hyperuricemia and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk based on the Framingham risk score (FRS) in a middle-aged and elderly Chinese population. Methods This cross-sectional study enrolled patients undergoing routine check-ups at Xiangya Hospital between October 2013 and November 2014. Hyperuricemia was defined as uric acid ≥416 mmol/l for males and ≥360 mmol/l for females. A 10-year CHD risk was calculated from FRS. A multivariable logistic analysis model was used to evaluate associations. Results Of the 6347 patients, 3415 (53.8%) were male, 1543 (24.3%) had a CHD risk ≥10% (i.e. intermediate and high risk) and the prevalence of hyperuricemia was 18.1% ( n = 1148). After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the 10-year CHD risk was increased in patients with hyperuricemia compared with those without hyperuricemia by 0.28 times in the total population (odds ratio [OR] 1.28; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09, 1.48), by 0.25 times in the male population (OR 1.25; 95% CI 1.06, 1.47) and by 2.76 times in the female population (OR 3.76; 95% CI 2.08, 6.79). Conclusion Hyperuricemia was positively associated with a 10-year risk of CHD suggesting that it might be an independent CHD risk factor in middle-aged and elderly individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data exist on the association of serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) level within the reference range with the increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) prediction in men. The study examined the association between serum GGT concentration within the reference range and the CHD risk prediction in Korean men. METHODS The study employed data from Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (V-1, 2010 and V-2, 2011) where a total of 1301 individuals were analyzed. A 10-year CHD risk prediction was computed using the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) modified by the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III). RESULTS Positive correlations were established between log-transformed GGT concentration and FRS (r = 0.237, P < 0.001). After adjustment of body mass index, the amount of alcohol intake and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for intermediate risk and beyond of 10-year CHD prediction (10-year risk ≥10%) with lowest quartile of participants was 1.21 (0.78-1.87) for second quartiles, 1.39 (0.88-2.21) for third quartiles and 2.03 (1.23-3.34) for highest quartiles. CONCLUSIONS Higher serum GGT within its reference range was significantly correlated with a 10-year CHD risk prediction estimation using NCEP ATP III in Korean men.
