Abstract
Association between hyperuricemia and obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, habitual alcohol intake and hyperglycemia was studied on 2,264 male employees of various enterprises.
The prevalence of hyperuricemia and the mean serum uric acid levels in cases with any one of these variables, except for hyperglycemia, were higher than those with no variables. These results indicate that each variable, except for hyperglycemia, is related independently to hyperuricemia.
81 cases out of 219 with hyperuricemia (36.9%) were associated with two or more variables, and 101 cases (46.1%) were associated with a single variable.
137 cases out of 219 with hyperuricemia (62.5%) were associated with habitual alcohol intake,84 cases (38.3%) with obesity and 50 cases (22.8%) with hypertriglyceridemia.
