Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of hyperuricemia(HUA) in Renqiu elderly residents in urban and rural areas，and to analyze the related factors. MethodsA cluster random sampling method was used for study， the sample involved the age 60 to 70 years of  Renqiu permanent residents including 5 010  cases screened object. Using face to face health questionnaires， anthropometric measurements， and laboratory test were performed.  HUA and risk factors were analyzed using spearman correlation，multiple regression methods. ResultsThe prevalence of HUA in the elderly in Renqiu was 6.1%， 9.8% in males，3.2% in females， and there was significant difference between males and females(P＜0.05). The multiple factors regression analysis showed that the uric acid level was positively correlated with waist circumference， TG， INS， diastolic blood pressure(P＜0.05)，but negatively correlated with TC， HDLC，FPG， systolic blood pressure and heart rate(P＜0.05).ConclusionThe prevalence of HUA in the elderly is lower in Hebei Renqiu than in other areas in China， HUA was associated with the variety of cardiovascular disease risk factors. Waist circumference， TG， INS and diastolic blood pressure are the risk factors for HUA， while TC， HDLC， FPG， systolic blood pressure and heart rate are associated with the decreased SUA level.
