Abstract

BACKGROUND: Previous cross-sectional studies have shown hyperuricemia to be prevalent among individuals with metabolic syndrome, but the evidence from prospective studies of an association between uric acid and diabetes risk is limited. We prospectively investigated the association between plasma concentrations of uric acid and the incidence of type 2 diabetes in Chinese individuals. METHODS: We conducted a community-based prospective cohort study of 2690 participants (age range, 35-97 years) in the Chin-Shan Community Cardiovascular Cohort Study, who were found to be free of diabetes and cardiovascular disease during baseline assessment at study entry in 1990. During a median 9.0-year follow-up, 548 participants developed type 2 diabetes. RESULTS: High plasma uric acid concentrations were associated with a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome. After adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, and other covariates, the relative risks (RR) of diabetes according to uric acid quintile were 1.11, 1.29, 1.40, and 1.63 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.20-2.23; P for trend <0.001]. After additional adjustment for metabolic syndrome, the RR for comparing the participants in the fifth and first uric acid quintiles was 1.40 (95% CI, 1.02-1.92; P for trend = 0.027). In joint analyses, participants who were in the highest uric acid quintile and also had metabolic syndrome had a 3.3-fold greater risk of diabetes (95% CI, 2.27-4.94) than those in the lowest uric acid quintile and without metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest a modest positive association between plasma uric acid concentration and the incidence of type 2 diabetes in Chinese individuals. The association between hyperuricemia and diabetes was partly mediated through the metabolic syndrome.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
