Abstract
Gout is a metabolic arthritis caused by hyperuricemia. In recent years, the prevalence of gout has been increased significantly in China due to the improvement of the living standards, and gout has become another common metabolic disease following diabetes mellitus. Gout severely affects the health status and life quality of human. In order to monitor the near real-time prevalence of gout, a wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) approach was carried out in 257 Chinese cities using febuxostat as the biomarker. Febuxostat in wastewater was measured by a LC-MS/MS method with satisfactory results of method validation. The average concentration of febuxostat in wastewater was 53.05 ± 31.76 ng/L, with the estimated per capita consumption of 124.40 ± 73.37 mg/day/1000 inhabitant. The calculated prevalence of febuxostat was 0.41 % ± 0.24 %, and the prevalence of gout was finally estimated to be 1.30 % ± 0.77 % (0.60 % to 2.11 %), which was nearly consistent with value of 1.10 % obtained from the Guideline for the diagnosis and management of hyperuricemia and gout in China (2019). The results indicated that the febuxostat-based WBE approach might be reasonable to assess the near real-time gout prevalence in China.

Abstract
PURPOSE Dietary acid load plays a key role in regulating serum uric acid levels. We hypothesized that dietary acid load indices would be positively associated with the odds of hyperuricemia. We aimed to test this hypothesis in a representative sample of Iranian adult population. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, a total of 6145 participants aged 35-65 years were recruited from MASHAD cohort study. Dietary intakes were assessed using a 24-h dietary recall. Diet-based acid load was assessed as the potential renal acid load (PRAL), net endogenous acid production (NEAP), and dietary acid load (DAL). Hyperuricemia was defined as serum uric acid greater than the 75th percentile. Multivariable logistic regression models were applied to determine the association between diet-based acid load scores and hyperuricemia. RESULTS The mean age of participants was 48.89 ± 8.09 years. Overall, 25.7% had hyperuricemia. According to the full-adjusted model, there was a significant association between higher tertile of PRAL, and DAL and hyperuricemia (Q3 PRAL; OR (95% CI): 1.23 (1.05-1.43), Q3 DAL; OR (95% CI): 1.22 (1.05-1.42)). Regarding NEAP, there was no significant association with hyperuricemia. We also found that dietary intake of total sugars, fiber, calcium, and magnesium was associated with the odds of hyperuricemia in our population. CONCLUSION This study showed a significant positive association between two indicators of dietary acid load (PRAL, and DAL) and odds of hyperuricemia among Iranian adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of hyperuricemia in China has been consistently increasing, particularly among the younger generation. The excessive consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with hyperuricemia. This study examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of Chinese young adults regarding sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and the correlation with hyperuricemia. METHODS This cross-sectional investigation was conducted from June 28th, 2023, to July 21st, 2023, and enrolled Chinese young adults. Demographics and KAP were evaluated using a questionnaire (Cronbach's α = 0.787). Factors influencing KAP scores were analyzed using multivariable analyses. RESULTS A total of 1288 valid questionnaires were analyzed. The median knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 16 (12,19)/22, 22 (20,24)/30, and 27.5 (23,31.75)/40. The multivariable analysis showed that bachelor's/associate education (OR = 1.912, 95%CI: 1.128-3.239), white collar/employee (OR = 0.147, 95%CI: 0.105-0.206), educator (OR = 0.300, 95%CI: 0.174-0.518), healthcare worker (OR = 0.277, 95%CI: 0.188-0.407), not suffering from hyperuricemia (OR = 0.386, 95%CI: 0.253-0.590), and not having gout (OR = 0.456, 95%CI: 0.282-0.736) were independently associated with knowledge. Age 26-30 (OR = 1.470, 95%CI: 1.052-2.052), age 31-35 (OR = 1.489, 95%CI: 1.097-2.022), age 36-40 (OR = 0.328, 95%CI: 1.010-1.746), age 41-44 (OR = 1.548, 95%CI: 1.091-2.198), and not having hyperuricemia (OR = 0.512, 95%CI: 0.345-0.760) were independently associated with attitude. White collar/employee (OR = 0.386, 95%CI: 0.285-0.521), educator (OR = 0.534, 95%CI: 0.317-0.899), healthcare worker (OR = 0.341, 95%CI: 0.236-0.493), having siblings (OR = 0.725, 95%CI: 0.573-0.917), and not suffering from hyperuricemia (OR = 0.442, 95%CI: 0.296-0.659), were independently associated with practice. CONCLUSION Chinese young adults display moderate KAP toward sugar-sweetened beverages. Notably, an association was observed between hyperuricemia and each KAP dimension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Knee synovial abnormalities, potentially treatment targets for knee pain and osteoarthritis, are common in middle-aged and older population, but its etiology remains unclear. We examined the associations between hyperuricemia and knee synovial abnormalities detected by ultrasound in a general population sample. METHODS Participants aged ≥ 50 years were from a community-based observational study. Hyperuricemia was defined as serum urate (SU) level > 416 µmol/L in men and > 357 µmol/L in women. Ultrasound of both knees was performed to determine the presence of synovial abnormalities, i.e., synovial hypertrophy, effusion, or Power Doppler signal (PDS). We examined the relation of hyperuricemia to prevalence of knee synovial abnormalities and its laterality, and the dose-response relationships between SU levels and the prevalence of knee synovial abnormalities. RESULTS In total, 3,405 participants were included in the analysis. Hyperuricemia was associated with higher prevalence of knee synovial abnormality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.21, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02 to 1.43), synovial hypertrophy (aOR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.05 to 1.68), and effusion (aOR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.44), respectively. There were dose-response relationships between SU levels and synovial abnormalities. Additionally, the hyperuricemia was more associated with prevalence of bilateral than with that of unilateral knee synovial abnormality, synovial hypertrophy, or effusion; however, no significant association was observed between hyperuricemia and PDS. CONCLUSION In this population-based study we found that hyperuricemia was associated with higher prevalence of knee synovial abnormality, synovial hypertrophy and effusion, suggesting that hyperuricemia may play a role in pathogenesis of knee synovial abnormalities.

Abstract
Background: Despite recent evidence of remaining possibility that early initiation of xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOIs) is beneficial in renoprognosis for patients with stage 2 or less chronic kidney disease (CKD), no evidence is available regarding the difference in renoprognosis based on serum uric acid (sUA) levels at the initiation of XOIs among patients with preserved kidney function. Methods: New XOI initiators were divided into quartiles based on baseline sUA. Primary outcome was the composite incidence of a significant estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline (≥40% decline in eGFR from baseline or development of eGFR <30 mL/1.73 m2/min) or all-cause death within 5 years. Results: After excluding inapplicable patients, 1170 XOI initiators were analyzed (mean ± standard deviation age: 68 ± 14.3 years; sUA: 10.6 ± 1.15 mg/dL). On overall median [interquartile range (IQR)] follow-up of 824 (342, 1576) days, incidence rate of the primary outcome was 287 per 1000 person-years for 5 years. Although the nonadjusted model showed a dose-response association between baseline sUA level and the outcome, the adjusted model showed no significant association. Adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) of the second, third, and fourth quartiles of baseline sUA with the composite outcome within 5 years compared to the first quartile were 1.00 (0.78, 1.29), 1.00 (0.80, 1.30), and 1.02 (0.80, 1.32), respectively. Conclusions: Early initiation of XOIs did not predict a significant benefit on renoprognosis even among the population with preserved kidney function. The validity of initiating XOIs with the aim of improving renoprognosis based on sUA is questionable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vegetarian diets have been shown to lower the risks of hyperuricemia and gout. Little is known about the risk factors of hyperuricemia in vegetarians. METHODS This community-based retrospective case-control study was conducted to establish prediction models for hyperuricemia. From September 5, 2005, to December 31, 2016, 7331 adult vegetarians were recruited at Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital. Hyperuricemia was defined as a serum uric acid concentration greater than 7 mg/dL. RESULTS There were 593 (8.1%) vegetarians with hyperuricemia and 6738 (91.9%) without hyperuricemia. We stepwise built up three models for predicting hyperuricemia in vegetarians. The full model (model 3) has the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC, 85.52%). Additionally, the AUROC of model 3 is 77.97% and 84.85% in vegetarians with or without prior gout history, respectively. Moreover, male gender, hyperlipidemia, body mass index, and serum albumin are independent risk factors for hyperuricemia in vegetarians. In contrast, estimated glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria are independently associated with lower risks of hyperuricemia in vegetarians. CONCLUSION Our study revealed that risk factors for hyperuricemia, which includes clinical characteristics, account for more than 85% of discriminatory performance in Taiwanese vegetarians. This model may be helpful for monitoring and preventing hyperuricemia in the population.

Abstract
Stroke is the second-leading cause of death and also a leading cause of combined death and disability. In Bangladesh, stroke prevalence is 11.39 per 1000 population, but highest prevalence of stroke is 14.71 per 1000 population in the Mymensingh division. Hyperuricemia has been reported as an independent risk factor for stroke in different studies and a significant association between serum uric acid and dyslipidemia has also been stated. On the contrary, some studies suggest that uric acid has a neuroprotective role. This cross-sectional study was completed in the Medicine Department of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from March 2021 to January 2023. In this cross-sectional study, 352 adult acute ischemic stroke patients were included from the Medicine Department of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital. Serum uric acid and fasting serum lipid levels were measured within 48 hours of admission. The mean age ±SD of the respondents was 61.9±12.8 years. Hyperuricemia was found among 18.2% of respondents, whose mean ±SD serum uric acid was 5.7±1.9 mg/dl. Dyslipidemia was present in 88.4% of patients. The mean ±SD of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 12.0±5.9. Most of the patients (65.6%) were suffering from moderate stroke, followed by moderate to severe stroke (15.1%), severe stroke (10.8%) and minor stroke (8.5%). After multiple linear regressions, the independent variables age, gender, serum uric acid and total cholesterol were found to be significant predictors of the NIHSS score of the respondents. In conclusion, the majority of acute ischemic stroke patients have an association with dyslipidemia, but only around one-fifth of patients have hyperuricemia. There is a significant association of high serum uric acid and high serum total cholesterol with stroke severity (NIHSS score). But low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and, triglycerides have no association with stroke severity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gout is the most common cause of inflammatory arthritis worldwide, particularly in Pacific regions. We aimed to establish the prevalence of gout and hyperuricaemia in French Polynesia, their associations with dietary habits, their comorbidities, the prevalence of the HLA-B*58:01 allele, and current management of the disease. METHODS The Ma'i u'u survey was epidemiological, prospective, cross-sectional, and gout-focused and included a random sample of adults from the general adult population of French Polynesia. It was conducted and data were collected between April 13 and Aug 16, 2021. Participants were randomly selected to represent the general adult population of French Polynesia on the basis of housing data collected during the 2017 territorial census. Each selected household was visited by a research nurse from the Ma'i u'u survey who collected data via guided, 1-h interviews with participants. In each household, the participant was the individual older than 18 years with the closest upcoming birthday. To estimate the frequency of HLA-B*58:01, we estimated HLA-B haplotypes on individuals who had whole-genome sequencing to approximately 5× average coverage (mid-pass sequencing). A subset of individuals who self-reported Polynesian ancestry and not European, Chinese, or other ancestry were used to estimate Polynesian-ancestry specific allele frequencies. Bivariate associations were reported for weighted participants; effect sizes were estimated through the odds ratio (OR) of the association calculated on the basis of a logistic model fitted with weighted observations. FINDINGS Among the random sample of 2000 households, 896 participants were included, 140 individuals declined, and 964 households could not be contacted. 22 participants could not be weighted due to missing data, so the final weighted analysis included 874 participants (449 [51·4%] were female and 425 [48·6%] were male) representing the 196 630 adults living in French Polynesia. The estimated prevalence of gout was 14·5% (95% CI 9·9-19·2), representing 28 561 French Polynesian adults, that is 25·5% (18·2-32·8) of male individuals and 3·5% (1·0-6·0) of female individuals. The prevalence of hyperuricaemia was estimated at 71·6% (66·7-76·6), representing 128 687 French Polynesian adults. In multivariable analysis, age (OR 1·5, 95% CI 1·2-1·8 per year), male sex (10·3, 1·8-60·7), serum urate (1·6, 1·3-2·0 per 1 mg/dL), uraturia (0·8, 0·8-0·8 per 100 mg/L), type 2 diabetes (2·1, 1·4-3·1), BMI more than 30 kg/m2 (1·1, 1·0-1·2 per unit), and percentage of visceral fat (1·7, 1·1-2·7 per 1% increase) were associated with gout. There were seven heterozygous HLA-B*58:01 carriers in the full cohort of 833 individuals (seven [0·4%] of 1666 total alleles) and two heterozygous carriers in a subset of 696 individuals of Polynesian ancestry (two [0·1%]). INTERPRETATION French Polynesia has an estimated high prevalence of gout and hyperuricaemia, with gout affecting almost 15% of adults. Territorial measures that focus on increasing access to effective urate-lowering therapies are warranted to control this major public health problem.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The causal relationship between gut microbiota and gout and hyperuricemia (HUA) has not been clarified. The objective of this research was to evaluate the potential causal effects of gut microbiota on HUA and gout using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. METHODS AND RESULTS Genetic instruments were selected using summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) comprising a substantial number of individuals, including 18,473 participants for gut microbiome, 288,649 for serum urate (SU), and 763,813 for gout. Two-sample MR analyses were performed to determine the possible causal associations of gut microbial genera with the risk of HUA and gout using the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method, and robustness of the results was confirmed by several sensitivity analyses. A reverse MR analysis was conducted on the bacterial taxa that were identified in forward MR analysis. Based on the results of MR analyses, Escherichia-Shigella (OR = 1.05; 95% CI, 1.01-1.08; P = 0.009) exhibited a positive association with SU levels, while Lachnospiraceae NC2004 group (OR = 0.95; 95% CI, 0.92-0.98; P = 0.001) and Family XIII AD3011 group (OR = 0.94; 95% CI, 0.90-0.99; P = 0.015) were associated with a reduced HUA risk. Moreover, Coprococcus 3 (OR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.01-1.34, P = 0.031) was causally associated with a higher gout risk. In reverse MR analysis, no causal relationships were identified between these bacterial genera and HUA or gout. CONCLUSION This study provides evidence for a causal association between gut microbial genera and HUA or gout, and further investigations of the underlying mechanism are warranted.

Abstract
Background Hyperuricemia is a common metabolic disorder linked to various health conditions. Its prevalence varies among populations and genders, and high-altitude environments may contribute to its development. Understanding the connection between blood cell parameters and hyperuricemia in high-altitude areas can shed light on the underlying mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between blood cell parameters and hyperuricemia in high-altitude areas, with a particular focus on gender differences. Methods We consecutively enrolled all eligible Tibetan participants aged 18-60 who were undergoing routine medical examinations at the People's Hospital of Chaya County between January and December 2022. During this period, demographic and laboratory data were collected to investigate the risk factors associated with hyperuricemia. Results Among the participants, 46.09% were diagnosed with hyperuricemia. In the male cohort, significant correlations were found between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and red blood cell (RBC) count, creatinine (Cr). Urea, alanine transaminase (ALT), and albumin (ALB). Notably, RBC exhibited the strongest association. Conversely, in the female cohort, elevated SUA levels were associated with factors such as white blood cell (WBC) count. Urea, ALT, and ALB, with WBC demonstrating the most significant association. Further analysis within the female group revealed a compelling relationship between SUA levels and specific white blood cell subtypes, particularly neutrophils (Neu). Conclusion This study revealed gender-specific associations between SUA levels and blood cell parameters in high-altitude areas. In males, RBC count may play a role in hyperuricemia, while in females, WBC count appears to be a significant factor. These findings contribute to our understanding of metabolic dynamics in high-altitude regions but require further research for comprehensive mechanistic insights.

Abstract
Aim Both hyperuricemia and anemia are not only the manifestation of chronic kidney disease (CKD) but also related to its occurrence and development. A recent study has found that there was a synergetic effect between hyperuricemia and anemia on new-onset CKD. Herein we aimed to explore the roles of hyperuricemia and anemia in the all-cause mortality in patients with CKD. Methods Data of adult patients with CKD were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) database in 2009-2018 in this retrospective cohort study. Weighted univariate and multivariate COX regression analyses were used to investigate the associations of hyperuricemia and anemia with all-cause mortality, and the evaluation indexes were hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The interaction effect between hyperuricemia and anemia on the risk of all-cause mortality was assessed via relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) and attributable proportion of interaction (AP). Subgroup analyses of age, gender, CVD, hypertension, DM, and cancer were also performed to assess this interaction effect. Results Among 3,678 eligible patients, 819 died from all causes. After adjusting for covariables, we found that CKD patients with anemia (HR = 1.72, 95%CI: 1.42-2.09) or hyperuricemia (HR = 1.21, 95%CI: 1.01-11.45) had a higher risk of all-cause mortality. There was a potential synergetic effect between anemia and hyperuricemia on all-cause mortality, with RERI of 0.630 and AP of 0.291. Moreover, this synergetic effect was also observed in ≥65 years old (AP = 0.330), male (AP = 0.355), hypertension (AP = 0.736), non-hypertension (AP = 0.281), DM (AP = 0.371), and cancer (AP = 0.391) subgroups. Conclusion A potential synergetic effect between anemia and hyperuricemia on all-cause mortality was found in patients with CKD. However, further studies are needed to clarify the causal relationship between them.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore the relationships between hyperuricemia and the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in both the general population and hypertensive patients through meta-analysis. METHODS AND RESULTS We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from January 2012. The eligibility criteria were predefined, and quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Stata 15.1 was used for meta-analysis, heterogeneity and sensitivity analysis. Subgroup analysis was used to explore heterogeneity, funnel plots and Egger tests were used to assesse publication bias and applicability. A total of 10,662 studies were retrieved, 45 of which were included in this meta-analysis utilizing a random effects model. Hyperuricemia was significantly associated with an increased risk of new-onset hypertension (RR = 1.36, 95% CI 1.16-1.59; I2 = 98.8%), total CVD (RR = 1.53, 95% CI 1.23-1.89; I2 = 93.7%), stroke (RR = 1.97, 95% CI 1.71-2.26, I2 = 0.0%), coronary heart disease (CHD) (RR = 1.56, 95% CI 1.06-2.30, I2 = 93.3%), and CKD (RR = 1.71, 95% CI 1.56-1.87; I2 = 87.3%). However, subgroup analysis showed no significant associations between hyperuricemia and hypertension in non-Asian populations (RR = 0.88, 95% CI 0.59-1.33), or between hyperuricemia and CVD with a follow-up duration <5 years (RR = 1.26, 95% CI 0.97-1.63). Among hypertensive patients, hyperuricemia was significantly associated with total CVD (RR = 2.32, 95% CI 1.31-4.12, I2 = 90.2%), but not with stroke (RR = 1.48, 95% CI 0.86-2.55; I2 = 90.7%) or CHD (RR = 1.51, 95% CI 0.98-2.33; I2 = 71.7%). CONCLUSION Hyperuricemia was significantly associated with an increased risk of new-onset hypertension, total CVD, stroke, CHD, and CKD in the general population. Among hypertensive patients, hyperuricemia was associated with an increased risk of CVD but not stroke or CHD alone. REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42022370692.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hyperuricaemia are both characterised by systemic inflammation. Preventing chronic diseases among the population with common metabolic abnormality is an effective strategy. However, the association of hyperuricaemia with the higher incidence and risk of COPD remains controversial. Therefore, replicated researches in populations with distinct characteristics or demographics are compellingly warranted. METHODS This cohort study adopted a design of ambispective hospital-based cohort. We used propensity score matching (PSM) and inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) to minimise the effects of potential confounding factors. A Cox regression model and restricted cubic spline (RCS) model were applied further to assess the effect of serum urate on the risk of developing COPD. Finally, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis to explore evidence of causal association. RESULTS There is a higher incidence in the population with hyperuricaemia compared with the population with normal serum urate (22.29/1000 person-years vs 8.89/1000 person-years, p=0.009). This result is robust after performing PSM (p=0.013) and IPTW (p<0.001). The Cox model confirms that hyperuricaemia is associated with higher risk of developing COPD (adjusted HR=3.35 and 95% CI=1.61 to 6.96). Moreover, RCS shows that the risk of developing COPD rapidly increases with the concentration of serum urate when it is higher than the reference (420 µmol/L). Finally, in MR analysis, the inverse variance weighted method evidences that a significant causal effect of serum urate on COPD (OR=1.153, 95% CI=1.034 to 1.289) is likely to be true. The finding of MR is robust in the repeated analysis using different methods and sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides convincing evidence suggesting a robust positive association between serum urate and the risk of developing COPD, and indicates that the population with hyperuricaemia is at high risk of COPD in the Chinese population who seek medical advice or treatment in the hospital.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the relationship between unhealthy lifestyle and hyperuricemia, as well as the modification effects of hypertension and dyslipidemia in occupational population and provide a theoretical basis for the prevention of hyperuricemia. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, based on baseline data from the Southwest Occupational Population Cohort from China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd., which included the population in 28 prefectures from Sichuan Province and Guizhou Province, and 33 districts (counties) from Chongqing Municipality between October and December 2021. This study collected the information about the demographics characteristics, lifestyles, and prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases of the study subjects through questionnaire, physical measurement and laboratory biochemical test. The unhealthy lifestyle score was scored based on smoking, alcohol consumption, dietary patterns, physical activity, and low weight or overweight, with higher scores being associated with more unhealthy lifestyles. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between unhealthy lifestyle score, smoking, alcohol consumption, other factors and hyperuricemia, and the stratified analysis was used to explore the modification effect of hypertension and other diseases on the relationship between unhealthy lifestyle and hyperuricemia. Results: A total of 11 748 participants were included in this study, the prevalence of hyperuricemia was 34.4%. Multivariate logistic regression model showed that current/previous smoking, current/previous alcohol consumption and BMI abnormality were risk factors for hyperuricemia, and the unhealthy lifestyle score showed a "cumulative" effect on the risk for hyperuricemia, with higher score increasing the risk of hyperuricemia, and the OR increased from 1.64 (95%CI: 1.34-2.00) to 2.89 (95%CI: 2.39-3.50). Stratified analysis showed that unhealthy lifestyles had a greater impact on the risk for hyperuricemia in people with hypertension and dyslipidemia. Conclusions: The coexistence of multiple unhealthy lifestyles might increase the risk of hyperuricemia, and this effect was stronger in participants with hypertension and dyslipidemia. Timely correction of unhealthy lifestyles, and control of hypertension and dyslipidemia might reduce the risk for hyperuricemia.

Abstract
Purpose This study aims to compare the association of hypertension plus hyperuricemia (HTN-HUA) with seven anthropometric indexes. These include the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), body roundness index (BRI), a body shape index (ABSI), and the cardiometabolic index (CMI). Methods Data was procured from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which recruited a representative population aged 18 years and above to calculate these seven indexes. Logistic regression analysis was employed to delineate their correlation and to compute the odds ratios (OR). Concurrently, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were utilized to evaluate the predictive power of the seven indexes. Results A total of 23,478 subjects were included in the study. Among these, 6,537 (27.84%) were patients with HUA alone, 2,015 (8.58%) had HTN alone, and 2,836 (12.08%) had HTN-HUA. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the AIP, LAP, VAI, TyG, BRI, ABSI, and CMI were all significantly associated with concurrent HTN-HUA. The OR for the highest quartile of the seven indexes for HTN-HUA were as follows: AIP was 4.45 (95% CI 3.82-5.18), LAP was 9.52 (95% CI 7.82-11.59), VAI was 4.53 (95% CI 38.9-5.28), TyG was 4.91 (95% CI 4.15-5.80), BRI was 9.08 (95% CI 7.45-11.07), ABSI was 1.71 (95% CI 1.45 -2.02), and CMI was 6.57 (95% CI 5.56-7.76). Notably, LAP and BRI demonstrated significant discriminatory abilities for HTN-HUA, with area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.72 (95% CI 0.71 - 0.73) and 0.73 (95% CI 0.72 - 0.74) respectively. Conclusion The AIP, LAP, VAI, TyG, BRI, ABSI, and CMI all show significant correlation with HTN-HUA. Notably, both LAP and BRI demonstrate the capability to differentiate cases of HTN-HUA. Among these, BRI is underscored for its effective, non-invasive nature in predicting HTN-HUA, making it a superior choice for early detection and management strategies.

Abstract
The dynamic progression of metabolic syndrome (MetS) includes developmental deterioration and reverse recovery; however, the key factors in this bidirectional progression have not been identified. Our study aimed to use the data obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) and construct a Bayesian network to explore the causal relationship between influential factor and the development and recovery of MetS. Followed up at 4 years, forward progression of MetS occurred in 1543 and reverse recovery of MetS occurred in 1319 of 5581 subjects. Bayesian Networks showed that hyperuricemia and body mass index (BMI) levels directly influenced progression of MetS, and gender, exercise and age play an indirect role through hyperuricemia and BMI levels; high hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and BMI levels directly influenced recovery of MetS, and gender and exercise play an indirect role through BMI levels. Bayesian Network inference found that the rate of progression of MetS in subjects with hyperuricemia increases from 36 to 60%, the rate of progression of MetS in subjects with overweight or obese increases from 36 to 41% and the rate of reverse recovery rate of MetS in subjects with high HbA1c decreased from 33 to 20%. Therefore, attention to individuals at high risk of hyperuricemia, high HbA1c levels, and overweight/obesity should be enhanced, with early detection and following healthy behavioral interventions to prevent, control and delay the progression of MetS and its components.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Energy-Adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DII) is related to both body mass index (BMI) and hyperuricemia. However, the association among BMI, hyperuricemia and DII is yet to be fully elucidated. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of BMI in the relationship between E-DII and hyperuricemia in the American population. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 2007 to 2016, with a sample size of 10,571 participants. The study used a weighted logistic regression model and a generalized additive model (GAM) to explore the associations among BMI, hyperuricemia and E-DII. Furthermore, mediation analysis was utilized to illustrate the mediating relationships among these variables. RESULTS The results of the study indicated that a higher E-DII was related to an increased risk of hyperuricemia. The association between E-DII and hyperuricemia was partially mediated by BMI. CONCLUSIONS E-DII is associated with hyperuricemia. BMI mediates the relationship between E-DII and hyperuricemia among Americans, which provides crucial information for the prevention of hyperuricemia.

He, Ben, Jiayue Feng, Yan Shu, Lichun Yang, Zepin He, Kanxiu Liao, Hui Zhuo, and Hui Li. Prevalence and risk factors of hyperuricemia among young and middle-aged Tibetan men living at ultrahigh altitudes: a cross-sectional study. High Alt Med Biol. 25:42-48, 2024. Background: Few studies have examined the prevalence or risk factors of hyperuricemia among populations living at ultrahigh altitudes. Here we examined the prevalence of hyperuricemia and factors associated with it among young and middle-aged Tibetan men living at ultrahigh altitudes. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed 672 Tibetan men 18-60 years old living on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (mean altitude 4,014 m) within the county of Litang in the Ganzi Tibetan autonomous prefecture of Sichuan Province, China. Demographic and clinical data were collected from self-administered questionnaires, physical examinations and laboratory tests. Participants whose blood uric acid (UA) contained >420 μmol/l were classified as having hyperuricemia. Results: Of the 672 men analyzed, 332 (49.4%) had hyperuricemia. Multivariate logistic regression showed risk of hyperuricemia to correlate positively with body mass index (per 1 U increase: odds ratio [OR] 1.172, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1066-1.243), triglycerides (OR 1.408, 95% CI 1.084-1.828), red blood cell count (OR 1.376, 95% CI 1.009-1.875), and creatinine level (per 1 U increase: OR 1.051, 95% CI 1.033-1.070). Conversely, risk of hyperuricemia correlated negatively with the presence of diabetes mellitus (OR 0.412, 95% CI 0.175-0.968). Subgroup analyses showed that prevalence of hyperuricemia was significantly higher among those with polycythemia than among those without it, and that UA levels correlated positively with hematocrit and hemoglobin levels. Conclusions: Hyperuricemia is an important public health problem among Tibetan men living at ultrahigh altitudes in Ganzi autonomous prefecture. The region urgently requires appropriate prevention and management efforts.

Abstract
This article explored the relationship between anthropometric indices and hyperuricemia in Chinese adults. The ability of each anthropometric index to predict hyperuricemia was also compared in this article. This is a cross-sectional study containing 69,842 samples from 31 provinces and cities in China. Anthropometric indices included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), a body shape index (ABSI), body roundness index (BRI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), waist circumference-triglyceride index (WTI), and weight-adjusted waist index (WWI). The survey data obtained were disaggregated and analyzed according to sex and age. BMI, WC, BRI, WHtR, LAP, VAI, TyG, WTI, and WWI were all significantly associated with hyperuricemia (P < 0.001). In the total population, WTI (AUC 0.7015, P < 0.001) had the highest predictive power, and WWI (AUC 0.5417, P < 0.001) had the lowest. In addition, after dividing the male and female populations, LAP (AUC 0.6571, P < 0.001 for men; AUC 0.7326, P < 0.001 for women) had the highest predictive power among both men and women. The ABSI (AUC 0.5189, P < 0.001 for men; AUC 0.5788, P < 0.001 for women) had the lowest predictive power among both men and women. BMI, WC, BRI, WHtR, LAP, VAI, TyG, and WTI were positively correlated with the risk of hyperuricemia and serum uric acid concentrations in both sexes. Among the general population, WTI had the highest predictive power. After dividing the population by sex, LAP had the highest predictive power in both men and women. Key Points • Anthropometric indices are highly correlated with hyperuricemia. Waist circumference-triglyceride index (WTI) is first found to be associated with hyperuricemia, and it has high predictive power. • The predictive power of anthropometric indices for hyperuricemia is more useful in women. • The restricted cubic splines visually shows the ratio of anthropometric indices to hyperuricemia ratio and the patient's serum uric acid concentration.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to separately evaluate the relationship between waist circumference and the incidence of hyperuricemia in men and women in the general Japanese population. We performed a population-based longitudinal study using data from the annual health examination of residents of Iki City, Japan. A total of 5567 participants without hyperuricemia at baseline were included in the analysis. The men and women were placed into groups according to the tertile of waist circumference. The outcome was incident hyperuricemia (uric acid > 416 µmol/L [7.0 mg/dL]). The relationship between waist circumference and the incidence of hyperuricemia was investigated using Cox proportional hazards models. During the follow-up period, hyperuricemia developed in 697 people (551 men and 146 women). The incidence (per 1000 person-years) of hyperuricemia increased with increasing waist circumference in the men (34.9 for tertile 1, 49.9 for tertile 2 and 63.3 for tertile 3; Ptrend < 0.001) and women (5.5 for tertile 1, 6.3 for tertile 2 and 11.9 for tertile 3; Ptrend < 0.001). Significant associations were identified after adjustment for potential confounders (men: Ptrend < 0.001; women: Ptrend = 0.014). In conclusion, both men and women with larger waist circumferences were at higher risks of subsequent hyperuricemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is well known that asymptomatic hyperuricemia and gout play an important role in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the effect of uric acid-lowering therapy (ULT) on the prognosis of CKD patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia remains controversial. Therefore, we aim to investigate the influence of ULT on renal outcomes in these patients. METHODS Comprehensive searches were conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI), and the Cochrane Library, up until January 2024. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the effects of ULT on renal outcomes in CKD patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia. RESULTS A total of 17 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with placebo or no treatment, ULT preserved the loss of estimated glomerular filtrating rate (eGFR) (Weighted mean difference [WMD] and its 95% confidence intercal(CI): 2.07 [0.15,3.98] mL/min/1.73m2) at long-term subgroup. At the same time, short-term subgroup also proved the preserved loss of eGFR (WMD 5.74[2.09, 9.39] mL/min/1.73m2). Compared with placebo or no treatment, ULT also reduced the increase in serum creatinine (Scr) at short-term (WMD -44.48[-84.03,-4.92]μmol/L) subgroup and long-term (WMD -46.13[-65.64,-26.62]μmol/L) subgroup. ULT was associated with lower incidence of the events of doubling of Scr without dialysis (relative risk (RR) 0.32 [0.21, 0.49], p < 0.001). However, no difference was found for lower incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) (p = 0.943). CONCLUSIONS According to our study, ULT is beneficial for slowing CKD progression both in short to long-term follow-ups. Additionally, in patients younger than 60 years old, the protective effect of ULT on renal outcome is more pronounced. However, it showed no significant difference in the incidence of AKI. These findings underscore the importance of considering ULT in clinical strategies for CKD patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated maternal serum uric acid (UA) levels were associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. This study aimed to examine the association between UA and the risk of low birth weight (LBW) / small for gestational age (SGA). METHODS A cohort study of women delivered in Shanghai maternity hospital was included between 2017 and 2021. Electronic medical records were utilized to extract information and antenatal care records. The cut-off value of UA was 360 μmol/L. The outcome was LBW/SGA, with LBW defined as birth weight below 2500 g and SGA indicating birth weight below the 10th percentile of average weight for gestational age. The assessment of SGA was based on the Chinese standard curve for birth weight at various gestational ages. Univariate, multivariate logistic regression models, restricted cubic spline were used in this study, with adjustments made for confounding factors. RESULTS Sixty-nine thousand six hundred seventy-four live births and singleton pregnancies were included. The ratio of LBW/SGA was 3.3%/9%. Maternal UA levels were significantly negatively correlated with birth weight. High UA levels were associated with high risk of LBW/SGA, especially in third trimester. In BMI < 25 group, the risk of LBW increased to 2.35-fold (95%CI, 1.66-3.31) in hyperuricemic group (UA > 360 μmol/L). The SGA risk was 1.66-fold (95%CI, 1.37-2.00). Gestational hypertension (GH) with hyperuricemica increased the risk of LBW (aOR = 4.00, 95%CI, 2.01-7.93) and SGA (aOR = 2.63, 95%CI, 1.83-3.78). Preeclampsia (PE) with hyperuricemia increased the risk of LBW (aOR = 1.38, 95%CI, 0.63-3.03) and SGA (aOR = 1.81, 95%CI, 1.18-2.78). In delivery gestational week (DGW) ≥ 37 group, if UA > 360 μmol/L, the incidence of LBW increased to 2.46-fold (95%CI, 1.62, 3.73) and the incidence of SGA increased to 1.52-fold (95%CI, 1.24, 1.87). In DGW < 37 group, if UA > 360 μmol/L, the incidence of LBW increased to 2.70-fold (95%CI, 1.92, 3.80) and the incidence of SGA increased to 2.13-fold(95%CI, 1.50, 3.02). CONCLUSIONS The study found an inverse correlation between UA levels and birth weight. High UA levels were associated with increased risk of LBW/SGA, particularly in third trimester. GH or PE complicated by hyperuricemia were found to have significantly higher risk of developing LBW/SGA. This relationship also existed in pregnant women with BMI < 25.

Abstract
Background Previous observational studies have demonstrated a correlation between metabolic syndrome related diseases and an elevated susceptibility to ulcers of lower limb. It has been suggested that this causal relationship may be influenced by the presence of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Nevertheless, the precise contribution of these factors as determinants of ulcers of lower limb remains largely unexplored. Method This research incorporated information on hypertension, BMI, hyperuricemia, type 2 diabetes, PAD, and ulcers of lower limb sourced from the GWAS database. Univariate Mendelian randomization (SVMR) and multivariate Mendelian randomization (MVMR) methods were employed to assess the association between metabolic syndrome related diseases, including hypertension, obesity, hyperuricemia, and type 2 diabetes, as well as to investigate whether this association was influenced by PAD. Results Univariate Mendelian randomization analysis showed that genetically predicted hypertension, BMI, and type 2 diabetes were associated with an increased risk of PAD and ulcers of lower limb, and PAD was associated with an increased risk of ulcers of lower limb, but there is no causal relationship between hyperuricemia and ulcers of lower limb. The results of multivariate Mendelian randomization showed that PAD mediated the causal relationship between hypertension, obesity and ulcers of lower limb, but the relationship between type 2 diabetes and ulcers of lower limb was not mediated by PAD. Conclusion Hypertension, BMI and type 2 diabetes can increase the risk of ulcers of lower limb, and PAD can be used as a mediator of hypertension and obesity leading to ulcers of lower limb, These findings may inform prevention and intervention strategies directed toward metabolic syndrome and ulcers of lower limb.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arthritis is thought to be closely related to serum uric acid. The study aims to assess the association between asymptomatic hyperuricemia (AH) and arthritis. METHODS A multistage, stratified cluster was used to conduct a cross-sectional study of adult US civilians aged≥20 years from the 2007-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Participants with hyperuricemia and without hyperuricemia prior to gout were included. A questionnaire was used to determine whether participants had arthritis and the type of arthritis. Logistic regression was used to investigate the association between hyperuricemia and arthritis. RESULT During the past 12 years, the percentage of participants with arthritis changed from 25.95% (22.53%-29.36%) to 25.53% (21.62%-29.44%). The prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) increased from 8.70% (95% CI: 6.56% to 10.85%) to 12.44% (95% CI: 9.32% to 15.55%), the prevalence of AH changed from 16.35% (95% CI: 14.01% to 18.40%) to 16.39% (95% CI: 13.47% to 19.30%). Participants with AH were associated with onset of arthritis (OR=1.34, 95% CI: 1.07 to 1.69), but the association was muted after adjusting demographic and socioeconomic factors. For participants aged 40-49 years, AH is associated with incident arthritis (OR=1.96, 95% CI: 1.23 to 2.99) and the relationship remained after adjusting for education level, income to poverty ratio, body mass index, diabetes, hypertension and smoking (OR=2.00, 95% CI: 1.94 to 3.36). Compared with male, female participants with AH are more likely to develop arthritis, especially in OA (OR=1.35, 95% CI: 1.14 to 1.60). CONCLUSION Our data identified AH as the risk factor for incident arthritis, especially for OA, which might be exaggerated in aged population and female population.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between hyperuricemia and the risk for stroke occurrence, as well as the mediating effect of hypertension on this association. Methods: In this study, the China Chronic Diseases and Nutrition Surveillance system in 2015 was used as baseline data. We identified hospital admissions for stroke using the electronic homepage of inpatient medical records from 2013-2020, and death data were obtained from the 2015-2020 National Mortality Surveillance System. A retrospective cohort was established after matching and linking the database. The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the relationship between hyperuricemia and the risk of stroke and its subtypes. Restricted cubic spline analysis was conducted to examine the dose-response relationship between serum uric acid levels and the risk for stroke. Mediation analysis was performed to investigate the mediating effect of hypertension on the association between hyperuricemia and the risk for stroke and its subtypes. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on gender and age groups. Results: A total of 124 352 study subjects were included, with an accumulative follow-up time of 612 911.36 person-years. During the follow-up period, 4 638 cases of stroke were found, including 3 919 cases of ischemic stroke and 689 cases of hemorrhagic stroke. The incidence density of stroke was 756.72 per 100 000 person-years, 641.37 per 100 000 person-years for ischemic stroke, and 114.60 per 100 000 person-years for hemorrhagic stroke. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models showed that after adjusting for covariates, compared to those without hyperuricemia, individuals with hyperuricemia had a 16% higher risk for stroke [hazard ratio (HR)=1.16, 95%CI: 1.06-1.27], a 12% higher risk of ischemic stroke (HR=1.12, 95%CI: 1.01-1.24), and a 39% higher risk of hemorrhagic stroke (HR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.11-1.75). Mediation analysis showed that hypertension partially mediated the associations between hyperuricemia and the risk for stroke, ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke, with mediation proportions of 36.07%, 39.98%, and 25.34%, respectively. The mediating effect is pronounced in the male population and individuals below 65. Conclusion: Hyperuricemia is a risk factor for stroke, and hypertension partially mediates the effect of hyperuricemia on stroke.

Abstract
Objective Although obesity is a known risk for hyperuricemia (HUA), the associations between adiposity indices and incident HUA and whether sex-specific differences exist is still unknown. We aimed to investigate the associations between adiposity indices and incident HUA in a longitudinal study. Methods Data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) in 2011-2012 and 2015-2016 were used to conduct a cohort study. Participants aged ≥45 years without HUA at baseline were included in this study. Adiposity indices, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio body roundness index (BRI), conicity index (CI), lipid accumulation product (LAP) index, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), visceral adiposity index (VAI), and Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), were calculated. Logistic analysis was used to analyze the association between adiposity indices and incident HUA risk stratified by gender. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to evaluate the power of predictions for incident HUA. Results Of 5,873 participants aged 59.0 ± 8.7 years enrolled in this study, 578 (9.8%) participants developed HUA during the 4-year follow-up period. After adjusting for confounding variables, LAP, VAI, and CVAI showed significant association with incident HUA. BMI, WC, WHtR, BRI, and CI were significantly associated with incident HUA in women but not in men. LAP had the highest area under the curve (AUC) (0.612) followed by CVAI (0.596) in men, while CVAI had the highest AUC (0.707) followed by LAP (0.691) in women. All indices showed better predictive ability in women than in men. Conclusion Our findings indicated that adiposity indices were effective predictors of incident HUA and showed better predictive power in women than men. In clinical practice, adiposity indices could be used to assess and prevent incident HUA among Chinese middle-aged and older adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggested inconclusive associations between bisphenols exposure and hyperuricemia risk. Our objective was to assess the potential association of bisphenol A (BPA) and its substitutes bisphenol S and F (BPS and BPF) exposure with serum uric acid (SUA) levels, hyperuricemia, and gout prevalence among US adults within the NHANES 2013-2016 datasets. METHODS Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were used to explore the associations of urinary bisphenols concentrations with SUA levels, hyperuricemia, and gout prevalence, in total population and different sex groups. The restricted cubic spline (RCS) model was used to explore the dose-response relationship. RESULTS In total population, doubling of urinary BPS and ∑BPs concentrations showed associations with an increase of 2.64 μmol/L (95% CI: 0.54, 4.74) and 3.29 μmol/L (95% CI: 0.59, 5.99) in SUA levels, respectively. The RCS model indicated a significantly "J"-shaped dose-response relationship between BPS exposure and SUA levels. Compared to the reference group of urinary BPS, males in the highest quartile displayed a 13.06 μmol/L (95% CI: 0.75, 25.37) rise in SUA levels. For females, doubling of urinary BPS concentrations was associated with a 3.30 μmol/L (95% CI: 0.53, 6.07) increase in SUA levels, with a significant linear dose-response relationship. In total population, doubling of urinary BPA concentrations showed a 1.05-fold (95% CI: 0.97, 1.14) adjusted risk of having hyperuricemia, with an inverted "U" curve. Doubling of urinary ∑BPs concentrations was associated with a 1.05-fold (95% CI: 0.96, 1.14) adjusted risk of hyperuricemia in total population, with a significant monotonic dose-response relationship. In females, doubling of urinary BPS concentrations was associated with a 1.45-fold (95% CI: 1.01, 2.08) adjusted increased risk of having gout, with a "J" shaped relationship. CONCLUSIONS BPA and BPS exposure to some extent were associated with elevated SUA levels and increased risk of hyperuricemia, with different dose-response relationships and sex differences.

Abstract
Background The burden of metabolic syndrome (MetS) continues to rise globally and is associated with complications of multiple organ systems. We aimed to identify the association between changes in MetS status and accelerated renal function progression through a regional epidemiological survey in China, thus discovering influence factors with treatable potential. Methods This study was a population-based survey conducted in 2008 and 2014, assessing a representative sample of 5,225 individuals from rural areas of China. They were divided into four subgroups according to their MetS status in 2008 and 2014 (Never, Previously abnormal, New-onset, and Consistent). Multivariate logistic regression and stratification analysis evaluated the relationship between clinical factors and renal function decline under different MetS statuses. Smooth curve fitting further addressed the role of serum uric acid, illustrating the vital turning point of uric acid levels in the background of renal function deterioration. Results Of all groups of MetS states, the new-onset MetS showed the most significant eGFR decline, with a 6.66 ± 8.21 mL/min/1.73 m2 decrease over 6 years. The population with newly-onset MetS showed a considerable risk increase in delta eGFR with a beta coefficient of 1.66 (95%CI=1.09-2.23) after necessary correction. In searching for the drivers, the strength of the association was significantly reduced after additional adjustment for uric acid levels (β=0.91, 95%CI=0.35-1.45). Regarding the turning point, uric acid levels exceeding 426 μmol/L were more significantly associated with the stepped-up deterioration of kidney function for those with new-onset MetS. Conclusion Metabolic syndrome demonstrated a solid correlation with the progression of renal function, particularly in those with newly-onset MetS status. In addition to the diagnostic components of MetS, hyperuricemia could be used as a marker to identify the high risk of accelerating eGFR decline early. Furthermore, we suggested a potential renal benefit for the newly-onset MetS population when maintaining their serum uric acid level below the criteria for asymptomatic hyperuricemia.

Abstract
Several studies have reported that the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is associated with serum uric acid (SUA) in healthy middle-aged men, kidney transplant patients, and diabetic patients. We assessed the relationship between AIP and SUA in patients with untreated essential hypertension (EH) in China. In the cross-sectional study, we evaluated 5003 patients with untreated EH in China; 1490 were assigned to the hyperuricemia (HUA) group and 3513 to the normouricemia (non-HUA) group according to the diagnostic criteria of HUA (SUA level≥6 mg/dL in females and ≥7 mg/dL in males). A higher AIP level was found in the HUA group (P < .001), and AIP was positively and independently correlated with SUA after adjusting for statistically significant variables (β = .204, P < .001). Moreover, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the AIP was closely and independently related to HUA after adjusting for confounders (odds ratio [OR]: 11.980, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.186-45.047, P < .001). Our findings suggested that the AIP was positively and independently associated with SUA, and elevated AIP might be a significant risk factor for HUA in patients with untreated EH in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the Zhuang minority had not been examined. We aimed to determine the prevalence of HUA and MetS, and explore the interrelationship among the serum uric acid to creatinine (SUA/Cr) ratio, MetS, and its components. METHODS AND RESULTS A cross-sectional study was conducted with structured questionnaire and physical examination based on the Zhuang minority cohort. A Structural Equation Model was performed to examine the hypothesis link between the SUA/Cr ratio, MetS, and its components. 10,902 aged 35-74 years Zhuang minority adults were included. The total prevalence of HUA and MetS was 17.5% and 23.7%, respectively. The SUA/Cr ratio had a positive effect on MetS (the standardized coefficient βr was 0.311 in males and 0.401 in females). The SUA/Cr ratio was positively associated with obesity (βr = 0.215), dyslipidemia (βr = 0.177), and high blood pressure (βr = 0.034) in males and was positively associated with obesity (βr = 0.303), dyslipidemia (βr = 0.162), and hyperglycemia (βr = 0.036) in females. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of HUA in the aged 35-74 years Zhuang minority adults was high while the prevalence of MetS was relatively low. As HUA is an earlier-onset metabolic disorder and the SUA/Cr ratio had a positive effect on MetS and its components, the prevention measures of MetS should be strengthened. And the SUA/Cr ratio can be used as an early warning sign to implement the intervention measures of MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS This study aimed to explore the association between hyperuricemia and heart failure (HF) readmission in HF patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) because the impact of hyperuricemia on the prognosis of these patients has not been fully understood. METHODS AND RESULTS This retrospective observational study included 538 hospitalized patients diagnosed with HFpEF. A total of 57.6 % of patients with HFpEF suffered from hyperuricemia (serum uric acid (SUA) was >7 mg/dL in men and >6 mg/dL in women). Compared to those without hyperuricemia, patients with hyperuricemia were more likely to be female (62.6 % vs. 53.9 %, p = 0.044) and older (78.0 ± 8.4 vs. 75.9 ± 9.0 years, p = 0.008). Our Cox analysis revealed that SUA level (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.158, 95 % confidence interval (CI): 1.087-1.234, p<0.001) and hyperuricemia (HR = 1.846, 95 % CI: 1.308-2.606, p<0.001) were associated with HF readmission in patients with HFpEF, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with hyperuricemia had a significantly worse prognosis (p<0.001). The receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that the area under the ROC curve of SUA for predicting HF readmission was 0.6276 (95 % CI: 0.5763-0.6790) and a designated cut-off value of 7.53 mg/dL. CONCLUSIONS Hyperuricemia is a common comorbidity among patients with HFpEF. Moreover, SUA level and hyperuricemia have been shown to be associated with HF readmission. Therefore, it is meaningful to monitor SUA levels in patients with HFpEF during the whole treatment period of HF. Whereas, whether intervention of hyperuricemia could benefit patients with HFpEF needs further studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperuricemia has placed an immense burden on the global healthcare system. Studies have discovered a close correlation between serum uric acid (SUA) and insulin resistance (IR). The objective of this investigation is to examine the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a simple surrogate for IR, and the presence of hyperuricemia. METHODS Between 2017 and 2021, an epidemiologic study was conducted on Royal Thai Army (RTA) personnel aged 35-60 years, involving a total of 231,286 participants. In the study, hyperuricemia was defined as a SUA level of 7 mg/dL and 6 mg/dL among male and female participants, respectively. Using linear regression analysis and logistic regression analysis, the association between the TyG index and SUA was determined. RESULTS A positive relationship was demonstrated between the TyG index and the SUA. Overall, SUA increased by 0.32 per unit of TyG index growth (95% CI: 0.31-0.32). In comparison with the first quartile, employees in the fourth TyG quartile had a greater likelihood of having hyperuricemia [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 2.45, 95% CI: 2.38-2.52]. Effect modification by obesity on the association between the TyG index and SUA was observed (P-interaction < 0.001). Among individuals with obesity, compared with the first TyG index quartile, the AOR for hyperuricemia was 2.15 (95% CI: 2.06-2.25) and 2.14 (95% CI: 1.81-2.53) for the fourth quartile of the TyG index for males and females, respectively. However, for nonobese personnel, in comparison to the top quartile of the TyG index, the AOR for hyperuricemia was 2.73 (95% CI:2.61-2.84) and 5.03 (95% CI: 4.03-6.29) for the fourth quartile of the TyG index for males and females, respectively. Personnel in the fourth TyG index quartile revealed that the prevalence of hyperuricemia reached 44.2%. CONCLUSION A robust positive association between the TyG index and SUA was illustrated among active-duty RTA personnel. Obesity was identified as a modifier influencing this relationship. Furthermore, individuals in the fourth quarter of the TyG index, regardless of their obesity status, could be considered appropriate candidates for screening SUA levels.

Abstract
Objective To analyze the prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) among the Tibetan population in Nagqu City, Tibet and to uncover the relevant influencing factors. Methods From July 2020 to August 2021, 763 Tibetan natives from Bangor County (specifically Xinji Township and Jiaqiong Township) and Seni District (specificially Sexiong Township), Nagqu City were investigated by multi-stage cluster random sampling method and the prevalence of HUA was studied by retrospective analysis. Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of HUA prevalence. Results The overall prevalence of HUA among the Tibetan population in the three townships of Nagqu City was 19.66% (150/763). In particular, the prevalence in men was 35.00%, while that in women was 8.58%, showing significant difference (P<0.05). According to the results of univariate analysis, there were significant differences in the distribution of sex, abnormal liver function, abnormal hemoglobin, hyperlipidemia, high level of low-density lipoprotein, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, abnormal creatinine, hyperhomocysteinemia, obesity, and hypertension between HUA and non-HUA patients (P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression showed that female sex (odds ratio [OR]=0.195, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.120-0.315) was a protective factor for HUA, while abnormal liver function (OR=2.812, 95% CI: 1.685-4.692), abnormal creatinine (OR=7.374, 95% CI: 1.446-37.620), high level of low-density lipoprotein (OR=2.357, 95% CI: 1.011-5.492), and hyperlipidemia (OR=3.056, 95% CI: 1.886-4.951) were independent risk factors. Conclusion The prevalence of HUA is relatively high in Nagqu city and the prevalence of HUA is much higher in men than that in women. Male sex, abnormal liver function, abnormal creatinine, elevated low-density lipoprotein, and hyperlipidemia may be the risk factors for HUA in the local Tibetan population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence regarding the relationships between organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) and hyperuricemia and gout as well as the underlying mechanisms remains scarce, but some evidence indicates that inflammation might play a key role. OBJECTIVES Using an integrated approach, we aim to elucidate the associations of urinary metabolite OPFRs (m-OPFRs) with hyperuricemia and gout. METHODS Cross-sectional analyses using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were performed to reveal the associations. Adults with complete data on five m-OPFRs with high detection frequencies and outcomes were enrolled. We used multivariate logistic regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS), and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) methods to account for single, nonlinear, and joint effects. The mediating effect of the inflammatory response was also estimated. Moreover, adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) based on network analysis were further constructed to reveal the underlying mechanism. RESULTS Multivariate logistic models revealed that bis(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (BCEP) significantly increased risk of hyperuricemia (OR [95 % CI]: 1.165 [1.047, 1.296]) in the fully adjusted model. Elevated levels of bis(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate were associated with gout (OR [95 % CI]: 1.293 [1.015, 1.647]). No nonlinear relationship was observed in RCS. There was a positive association between mixed m-OPFRs and hyperuricemia risk in BMKR, with bis(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate and BCEP being the main contributors (PIP > 0.5). We found that the inflammatory response significantly mediated the association between BCEP and hyperuricemia (P < 0.05). Network topology analysis identified seven genes and six phenotypes related to OPFR exposure and hyperuricemia. The AOP framework suggested that the inflammatory response, especially the activation of the TNF pathway, played a core role in the above relationships. CONCLUSION Our results first revealed that individual and mixed OPFRs were associated with hyperuricemia, in which the inflammatory response plays an important role. Further longitudinal studies are warranted to consolidate or refute our main findings.

Abstract
To evaluate the effect of relieving urinary tract obstructions (RUO) on the risk of gouty arthritis in patients with postrenal obstructions and hyperuricemia. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 130 patients with urinary tract obstructions at Rongcheng People's Hospital from 2018 to 2021. Patients were divided into groups A (n = 62) and B (n = 68) according to the treatment method. Patients in group A underwent conservative treatments, such as drugs, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), and hemodialysis. Patients in Group B underwent catheterization, cystostomy, nephrostomy, or double J ureteral catheterization for rapid RUO. The ages of groups A and B were 58.40 ± 17.69 and 59.63 ± 16.12 years, respectively (P = .42). Before treatment, the serum uric acid values were 572.05 ± 106.93 and 567.79 ± 97.21 µmol/L, respectively (P = .94); serum creatinine values were 226.66 ± 269.67 and 280.15 ± 200.75 µmol/L, respectively (P = .88); and urine volumes were 913.23 ± 481.92 and 886.18 ± 552.72 mL/24 h, respectively (P = .08). No significant differences in the general data were identified between the two groups (P > .05). The effects of the two treatments on the incidence of gout in patients with hyperuricemia complicated by postrenal obstruction were compared based on changes in uric acid level, creatinine level, and urine volume within 1 week after treatment. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze clinical factors that increased the incidence of gout after RUO. The gout incidence rates in group A before and after treatment were 8.1% (5/62) and 6.5% (4/62), respectively (P > .99). The gout incidence rates in group B before and after treatment were 4.4% (3/68) and 19.1% (10/68), respectively (P = .01). Group B had a statistically significant increase in the gout incidence rate after RUO (P < .05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that having an age > 60 years, urine volume ≤400 mL/24 h, and creatinine level > 186 µmol/L before treatment were risk factors for gout in patients with hyperuricemia after RUO. Relieving urinary tract obstruction increases the risk of gouty arthritis in patients with hyperuricemia and acute postrenal obstruction. Age, urine volume, and creatinine levels before treatment are risk factors for gout in patients with hyperuricemia after RUO.

Abstract
This study aimed to describe the prevalence of comorbid hypertension and hyperuricemia (HH) and detected the dietary factors for HH in Chinese adults aged 18 to 64 years. All of the data were collected from the China Nutrition and Health Surveillance 2015-2017, with a stratified, multistage, random sampling method on a national scale. A total of 52,627 adult participants aged 18~64 years from the CNHS 2015-2017 were included in this study. HH was identified as SUA level cut-offs for males and females of 420 μmol/L and 360 μmol/L, respectively, with mean systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or mean diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg and/or received antihypertensive treatment within two weeks. The differences in HH prevalence between or among the subgroups were compared by the Rao-Scott chi-square test. The correlations between HH and covariates or metabolic factors were detected by a weighted two-level multivariate survey logistic regression. The total weighted sufficient intake ratios of beans and nuts, vegetables, and red meat were 59.1%, 46.6%, and 64.8%, respectively. The weighted prevalence of HH in the total participants was 4.7% (95% CI: 4.3-5.0%). The positive effects of bean and nut on HH were observed. The participants who had sufficient bean and nut intake showed lower risk for HH (for the total participants: OR = 0.734, 95% CI = 0.611-0.881). The prevalence of HH might have been a public health problem, and bean and nut intake might be a protective factor for HH in the Chinese population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported insulin resistance (IR) to be associated with hyperuricemia. In this study, we aimed to assess the possible associations between the empirical dietary index for IR (EDIR), the empirical lifestyle index for IR (ELIR), and non-insulin-based surrogates (triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, triglyceride-to-high-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) and TyG with body mass index (TyG-BMI)) and hyperuricemia in an Iranian population. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 6457 participants aged 35-65 years were recruited as part of the MASHAD cohort study. EDIR and ELIR were calculated using dietary intakes, body mass index, and physical activity information. Insulin resistance surrogates including TyG, TyG-BMI, TG/HDL-C, and METS-IR were calculated for all participants. Hyperuricemia was defined as serum uric acid ≥ 7 mg/dl in men or ≥ 6 mg/dl in women. Multivariable logistic regression models were applied to determine the association between indexes of IR and hyperuricemia. RESULTS The mean ELIR and IR surrogates (TyG, TyG-BMI, TG/ HDL, and METS-IR) were significantly higher in subjects with hyperuricemia compared to non-hyperuricemic subjects (p < 0.001). After adjusting for confounding variables, the association between hyperuricemia and EDIR was not significant, but ELIR had a significant association in all models (p < 0.001). All four IR surrogates (TyG, TyG-BMI, TG/ HDL, and METS-IR) showed a significant association with hyperuricemia (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION There was a significant association between indexes of insulin resistance: TyG, TyG-BMI, TG/HDL-c, METS-IR, and ELIR with hyperuricemia, in a population sample from northeastern Iran.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) is gradually increasing worldwide. HUA is closely related to diabetes, but the relationship between HUA and pancreatic β-cells function in the population is unclear. The purpose of this article is to investigate the association between pancreatic β-cells and HUA. METHODS This cross-sectional study examined the association between pancreatic β-cells and HUA in 1999-2004 using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Subjects were divided into two groups: HUA and non-HUA. Pancreatic β-cells function levels were assessed using homeostasis model assessment version 2-%S (HOMA2-%S), homeostasis model assessment version 2-%B (HOMA2-%B) and disposition index (DI). Multivariate logistic regression models and restricted cubic spline models were fitted to assess the association of pancreatic β-cells function with HUA. RESULTS The final analysis included 5496 subjects with a mean age of 46.3 years (standard error (SE), 0.4). The weighted means of HOMA2-%B, HOMA2-%S and DI were 118.1 (SE, 1.0), 69.9(SE, 1.1) and 73.9 (SE, 0.7), respectively. After adjustment for major confounders, participants in the highest quartile of HOMA2-%B had a higher risk of HUA (OR = 2.55, 95% CI: 1.89-3.43) compared to participants in the lowest quartile. In contrast, participants in the lowest quartile of HOMA2-%S were significantly more likely to have HUA than that in the highest quartile (OR = 3.87, 95% CI: 2.74-5.45), and similar results were observed in DI (OR = 1.98, 95% CI: 1.32-2.97). Multivariate adjusted restricted cubic spline analysis found evidence of non-linear associations between HOMA2-%B, HOAM2-%S, DI and the prevalence of HUA. CONCLUSION Our finding illustrated the indicators of inadequate β-cells compensation might be a new predictor for the presence of HUA in U.S. adults, highlighting a critical role of pancreatic β-cells function on HUA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While dyslipidemia has been recognized as a potential risk factor for hyperuricemia, there is currently a dearth of large-scale data specifically focused on studying the relationship between these two conditions. To address this gap, the present study analyzed a dataset of 298,891 physical examination records to investigate in greater detail the clinical classification and compositional relationship between hyperuricemia and dyslipidemia. METHODS For this investigation, a cross-sectional research design was utilized to analyze physical examination data that was gathered from Yijishan Hospital in Wuhu, China between 2011 and 2016. Logistic regression was employed to examine the association between hyperuricemia and dyslipidemia. Furthermore, the association between hyperuricemia and dyslipidemia was evaluated based on the clinical classifications of dyslipidemia and its components. RESULTS A total of 298,891 participants from China (124,886 [41.8%] females) were included in the study, with an age range of 18 to 90 years (mean [SD]: 47.76 [13.54] years). In multivariate analysis, the odds of hyperuricemia was 1.878 times higher in patients with dyslipidemia compared to those without dyslipidemia (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.835-1.922). In the clinical classification of dyslipidemia, individuals with hypertriglyceridemia and mixed hyperlipidemia had 1.753 times (95% CI: 1.706-1.802) and 1.925 times (95% CI: 1.870-1.982) higher odds of hyperuricemia, respectively, compared to those without dyslipidemia. Among the components of dyslipidemia, the odds ratios for hyperuricemia in individuals in the fourth quartile compared to those in the first quartile were 3.744 (95% CI: 3.636-3.918) for triglycerides, 1.518 (95% CI: 1.471-1.565) for total cholesterol, and 1.775 (95% CI: 1.718 - 1.833) for non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS Dyslipidemia has been independently linked with hyperuricemia. Moreover, the elevation of triglycerides or total cholesterol levels, including conditions such as hypertriglyceridemia and mixed hyperlipidemia, have been observed to have a positive association with the development of hyperuricemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hyperuricemia (HU) has been shown to be associated with an adverse impact on cardiovascular and metabolic risk. Scanty data are available in the general population on the longitudinal changes in serum uric acid (SUA), the occurrence of HU and their potential predictors. We examined during a 25-year follow-up the SUA changes and the factors associated with HU development in the Pressioni Arteriose Monitorate E loro Associazioni (PAMELA) study. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed data collected in 561 subjects of the PAMELA study evaluated during an average follow-up time amounting to 25.4 ± 1.0 years (mean ± SD). HU was defined by the Uric Acid Right for Heart Health (URRAh) cutoff (5.1 for females and 5.6 mg/dl for males). Mean SUA values during follow-up increased from 4.7 ± 1.1 to 5.0 ± 1.2 mg/dl (P<0.001), the average SUA elevation amounting to of 0.3 ± 1.1 mg/dl 26.7 % of the subjects displayed HU at the follow-up. This was associated at the multivariable analysis with female gender, office, home and 24-h blood pressure, diuretic treatment, serum triglycerides and baseline SUA, as well as the increase in waist circumference and the reduction in renal function. CONCLUSION The present study provides longitudinal evidence that in the general population during a 25 year follow-up there is a progressive increase in SUA and HU development. Baseline SUA represents the most important factor associated with these modifications. Gender, renal dysfunction, triglycerides, obesity, diuretic treatment and blood pressure represent other variables capable to predict future occurrence of HU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between serum uric acid (SUA) and cognitive function remains unclear, especially among individuals without hyperuricemia. We examined the cross-sectional and longitudinal bidirectional associations between SUA and cognition, as well as the mediating effect of depressive symptoms among Chinese adults. METHODS Data were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). SUA (continuous) and cognitive function (based on mental intactness and episodic memory) were measured at Wave 1 and Wave 3. Depressive symptoms (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale) were assessed at Wave 1. Bivariate latent change score models and mediation analysis were used to investigate these possible associations. RESULTS A total of 6 236 participants free of hyperuricemia (aged 58.3 ± 8.5 years) were included. After controlling for potential confounders, the SUA level was associated with cognition at baseline (standardized r = 0.042; p = .001). Higher baseline SUA level was associated with slower subsequent cognitive decline (standardized β = 0.026; p = .027), whereas baseline cognition was not significantly associated with subsequent change in SUA (standardized β = 0.003; p = .817). In mediation analysis, baseline SUA was indirectly associated with subsequent cognition via baseline depressive symptoms (mediation effect 13.3%; p < .001). CONCLUSIONS Higher baseline SUA level is associated with better baseline cognition and less subsequent cognitive decline among Chinese adults without hyperuricemia. Baseline depressive symptoms may partially mediate the association between baseline SUA and later cognition. Continued research is warranted to verify these findings and elucidate the causality and underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperuricemia is linked to an increased risk of various chronic diseases, but data on the prevalence and association of hyperuricemia with liver function in Saudi Arabia are scarce. OBJECTIVES Evaluate the prevalence, association, and risk measures of hyperuricemia and liver function in the Saudi population. DESIGN Retrospective, cross-sectional analysis. SETTING Database on large portion of Saudi population. PATIENTS AND METHODS Laboratory data, age, and gender of the studied subjects were collected from Al Borg Diagnostics. Subjects were stratified, based on their uric acid (UA) levels, into three groups: hypouricemic, normouricemic, and hyperuricemic. The association of UA with liver enzymes was examined in all three groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Association of serum UA levels with alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and total bilirubin (TB). SAMPLE SIZE 13 314 subjects. RESULTS Our study showed that the prevalence of hyperuricemia in the Saudi population is 17.3% (20.3% in males and 15.1% in females). We also found a positive correlation between ALT, AST, and TB with UA levels. The risk of being hyperuricemic was significantly increased in individuals with elevated ALT, AST, and TB. Individuals with elevated ALT, AST, and total TB had a higher chance of having hyperuricemia than those with normal activity. Notably, ALT, AST, and TB had good discriminating capacity for hyperuricemia. CONCLUSIONS Hyperuricemia is highly prevalent in the Saudi population and is associated with compromised liver function. However, further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying these findings in large prospective cohort studies in different populations. LIMITATIONS Lack of data on other potential confounding variables.

Abstract
Across the globe, metabolic syndrome, hyperuric acid, and their related diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and insulin resistance, are increasing in incidence due to metabolic imbalances. Due to the pathogenesis, women are more prone to these diseases than men. As estrogen levels decrease after menopause, obesity and metabolic disorders are more likely to occur. Men are also affected by hyperuric acid. To provide ideas for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome and hyperuricemia, this article reviews and analyzes the relationship between estrogen receptors, metabolic syndrome, and hyperuricemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Obesity and hyperuricemia (HUA) often coexist and have been widely accepted as risk factors for hypertension, but the role of uric acid (UA) in the relationship between obesity and hypertension remains unknown in children and adolescents. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 7525 subjects aged 6-16 years were from the School-based Cardiovascular and Bone Health Promotion Program (SCVBH) at baseline (2017) and followed up in 2019. Multivariable logistic regression with interaction terms, cross-lagged panel analysis, and causal mediation model were applied to delineate the joint impact of obesity and HUA on hypertension, including the interaction effect, the temporal association, and the mediating effect of UA in the relationship between obesity and hypertension. There were 10.8 % of the participants with normotension at baseline developed hypertension after two years of follow-up. Cross-lagged panel analysis showed that the two-time point association was significant only from baseline BMI to follow-up UA (β1 = 0.302, P < 0.001), but not from baseline UA to follow-up BMI (β2 = 0.002, P = 0.745). Multivariable logistic regression showed that both obesity and HUA increased the risk of hypertension, but no interaction effect between HUA and obesity. The causal mediation analysis found that UA partially mediated the association between BMI and SBP (mediate proportion: 20.3 %, 95 % CI: 17.4-22.9 %) or DBP (mediate proportion: 11.9 %, 95 % CI: 3.9-18.2 %). The results were consistent in the analysis of systolic hypertension rather than diastolic hypertension. CONCLUSIONS It is mediating effect that UA played in the progress from obesity to hypertension, particularly systolic hypertension in children and adolescents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are conflicting data on the significance of hyperuricemia or hyperuricosuria in urolithiasis formation and on the need for medical treatment. OBJECTIVES To assess the significance of hyperuricemia or hyperuricosuria in urolithiasis formation, particularly when hyperuricemia occurs with normal uricosuria. METHODS The electronic medical records of patients treated in Haifa and the Western Galilee district of Clalit Health Services, Israel, were retrospectively screened for diagnosis of nephrolithiasis or renal or urinary tract/bladder calculi between February 2014 and April 2019. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonography or computed tomography. The study group included patients with one of these diagnoses. Patients in the control group did not have these diagnoses. The inclusion criterion for all patients was the presence of both serum and urinary uric acid levels. RESULTS The study group included 359 patients and the control group 267. After adjustment by logistic regression, we found no significant differences in the prevalence of hyperuricosuria in the study group (14.8%) compared to the control group (9.7%), odds ratio (OR) 1.54 (95% confidence interval [95%CI] 0.74-3.2, P = 0.245). No significant differences between the groups were observed for hyperuricemia prevalence (45.4% vs. 55.1%, respectively, OR 0.82, 95%CI 0.54-1.25, P = 0.355), nor among those without hyperuricosuria (OR 0.83, 95%CI 0.52-1.33, P = 0.438) and after propensity score matching (OR 0.93, 95%CI 0.66-1.3, P = 0.655). CONCLUSIONS There were no significant differences in hyperuricemia or hyperuricosuria between the two groups of patients or in hyperuricemia among participants without hyperuricosuria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) has been correlated with uric acid levels, although results are inconsistent, and prospective studies are lacking. In this longitudinal, prospective cohort study, we aimed to assess whether a shorter LTL predicts the risk of hyperuricemia. METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted a longitudinal study in a Chinese cohort of 599 participants. Of these, 266 participants completed a 5.9-year follow-up from June 2014 to December 2021. LTL was assessed at baseline using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Hyperuricemia was defined as serum uric acid ≥420 mmol/L according to Chinese guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of hyperuricemia and gout. Participants who had developed hyperuricemia during follow-up (n = 17) had shorter LTL at baseline. Baseline LTL was independently associated with the development of hyperuricemia at follow-up after adjusting for conventional hyperuricemia risk factors (odds ratio [OR] 2.347 [95% confidence interval [CI] 1.123, 4.906]; P = 0.023). After grouping according to LTL tertiles, the incidence of hyperuricemia was 18.334-fold higher for the first than for the third tertile (OR 18.334 [95%CI 1.786, 191.272]; P = 0.014, P for trend = 0.050). CONCLUSION Our findings in a prospective cohort suggest that LTL could predict hyperuricemia risk, which might inform the timely prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity not only affects human health but also is an important risk factor for a variety of chronic diseases. Therefore, it is particularly important to analyse the epidemic trend of obesity and actively carry out the prevention and control of obesity in the population. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 4565 adults were selected by multi-stage stratified random sampling in Shenmu, Shaanxi Province, China. Univariate analysis was used to explore the epidemic characteristics of obesity in this region. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyse the relationship between obesity and chronic diseases. Finally, the prediction efficiency of different obesity indexes was analysed by drawing receiver operator characteristic curves (ROC). All statistical analysis was completed by SPSS 26.0 software. RESULTS The prevalence rates of overweight, obesity, and central obesity were 39.9%, 18.2%, and 48.0%, respectively. After adjusting for other confounding factors, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that overweight and obesity were risk factors for hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and hyperuricaemia. Central obesity is a risk factor for dyslipidaemia and hyperuricaemia. High level of waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) was a risk factor for dyslipidaemia and hyperuricaemia (p < 0.05). Obesity-related indicators: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and WHtR, are strongly correlated with the increased risk of chronic diseases in northern Shaanxi, China. The optimal BMI cut-off values for predicting hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and hyperuricaemia were 24.27, 24.04, and 25.54, respectively. The optimal WC cut-off values for predicting dyslipidaemia and hyperuricaemia were 84.5 and 90.5, and WHtR cut-off values were 0.52 and 0.54, respectively. CONCLUSION The problem of overweight, obesity, and central obesity in adults is serious in northern Shaanxi, China. Obesity of all types will increase the risk of chronic diseases. Therefore, a variety of preventive and therapeutic measures should be adopted to curb obesity and reduce the incidence of related chronic diseases.

Abstract
Dietary management is a crucial component of non-pharmacological treatment for hyperuricemia, yet there is a paucity of research on the impact of dietary habits on the survival outcomes of individuals with hyperuricemia. The objective of this study is to examine the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and the all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in individuals with hyperuricemia. This study included 3093 adult participants from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001 to 2010. Participants were categorized into 4 groups based on quartiles of DII to demonstrate data characteristics, with sample weights considered. The relationship between DII and the risk of hyperuricemia was examined using multivariable logistic regression models. Kaplan-Meier models and Cox proportional hazards models were employed to assess the relationship between DII levels and the all-cause mortality in individuals with hyperuricemia, with the non-linear relationship tested using restricted cubic splines (RCS). Competing risk models were employed to investigate the association between DII levels and the CVD mortality in individuals diagnosed with hyperuricemia. Subgroup and sensitivity analysis were performed to confirm the robustness and reliability of the findings. Among the participants, 47.95% were aged over 60 years. A positive association observed between the highest quartile of DII level and the incidence of hyperuricemia (OR: 1.34, CI [1.13, 1.57]). Elevated DII levels were correlated with increased all-cause mortality (P value < .001) and CVD mortality (P value < .001) in participants. In comparison to the lowest quartile, the highest quartile of DII exhibited a 31% rise in all-cause mortality (HR: 1.31, CI [1.01, 1.68]) and a 50% increase in CVD mortality (HR: 1.50, CI [1.00, 2.26]). No indication of a nonlinear association between DII levels and all-cause mortality (p-non-linear = .43). These findings indicate a positive correlation between the pro-inflammatory diet and the incidence of hyperuricemia. Additionally, a pro-inflammatory diet may elevate the all-cause and CVD mortality in individuals with hyperuricemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between alcohol consumption and hyperuricaemia (HUA), we conducted a study based on a large population. SETTING Cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS A total of 20 833 participants aged 30-79 years were enrolled in the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort, Chongqing region. OUTCOMES The serum level of uric acid, fasting blood glucose and blood lipids were tested. Basic demographic statistics such as age, gender, marital status, education level, family annual income and the detail information of alcohol consumption were collected using a standardised questionnaire. RESULTS After controlling for potential confounders, compared with participants who never consumed alcohol, participants who drank 3-5 days per week had the highest risk of HUA (OR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.25 to 1.82) and those who drank alcohol harmfully had the highest risk of HUA (OR: 1.81, 95% CI: 1.41 to 2.32). In addition, we found that those who drank moderately had no significant association with risk of HUA. However, among men, compared with participants who never consumed alcohol, those who drank moderately was also a risk factor of HUA (OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.46) and those who drank alcohol harmfully had the highest risk of HUA (OR: 2.13, 95% CI: 1.64 to 2.78). Compared with participants who drank alcohol moderately, the OR (95% CI) for those who drank alcohol harmfully had the highest risk of HUA was 1.88 (1.42 to 2.48), and the corresponding OR (95% CI) for each level increment in the degree of alcohol consumption was 1.22 (1.12 to 1.33). Among men, compared with participants who drank alcohol moderately, those who drank alcohol harmfully had the highest risk of HUA (OR: 1.93, 95% CI: 1.45 to 2.57), as well as the corresponding OR (95% CI) for each level increment in the degree of alcohol consumption was 1.24 (1.13 to 1.35). CONCLUSION This study suggested that the frequency and degree of alcohol consumption may be the risk factors for HUA, especially in males.
