Hyperuricemia is associated with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risks in diverse of the population. Whether the dose-response effects on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and cardiometabolic risks is unclear. The present study is conducted to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid and the prevalence metabolic syndrome and left ventricular hypertrophy.

Full description

Apparently healthy individuals with an estimated screening number of approximately twenty-thousand individuals undergo an annual health exam in the investigators' hospital. The routine exam includes measurements of body height, body weight, blood pressure, visual and acoustic acuity, physical examinations, basic blood tests, urine analyses, chest radiography, and electrocardiography. The blood tests were performed after individuals fasted for at least eight hours. Individuals with any abnormal results underwent a clinical examination at an outpatient department for safety issues, ensuring the accuracy of the data. All data were registered prospectively.
