Abstract:

Objective To analyze the prevalence and risk factors of hyperuricemia (HUA) in health examination population in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province in 2020. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 12188 healthy adults over 20 years who had received health examinations in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. The prevalence of HUA in different age and gender groups was measured, and the correlation between biochemical parameters and the occurrence of HUA was analyzed. Results The prevalence of HUA among the health examination population in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province in 2020 was 18.7%, which was 5.6% for females and 24.8% for males, respectively. Among males, the prevalence of HUA was the highest among young men aged 20-29 years and 30-39 years, reaching 31.9% and 29.9% respectively. Spearmen correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis indicated that body mass index (BMI) was positively correlated with HUA. The receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis showed BMI>23.84 kg/m2 could be used to predict the occurrence of HUA. Conclusion In 2020, the prevalence of HUA is 18.7% in health examination population in Yangzhou. Young men aged 20-39 years have the highest prevalence among males, indicating that the high prevalence of HUA among young males can not be ignored. BMI is positively correlated with HUA occurrence, which may be a potential risk factor for HUA.
