Overview

Cross-sectional study evaluates hyperuricemia and cardiovascular risk in postmenopausal women, suggesting importance for healthcare monitoring.

Key Points

  • This study aims to assess the prevalence of hyperuricemia and its relationship with cardiovascular risk factors among postmenopausal women in Cameroon.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional study from November 2024 to June 2025 involving 206 postmenopausal women.
  • Variables were assessed through biological measurements at PRIMA Lab using the Cobas 6000®, and logistic regression was used for analysis.
  • Statistical associations between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular risk markers were evaluated using chi-squared tests.
  • The prevalence of hyperuricemia among participants was 37.9%.
  • Menopausal duration of ≥ 14 years (OR = 2.8, P = 0.016), overweight/obesity (OR = 1.9, P = 0.030), and hypertension (OR = 2.0, P = 0.036) were identified as independent risk factors for hyperuricemia.
  • Hyperuricemia was significantly associated with non-HDL cholesterol ≥ 130 mg/dL (P = 0.001), LDL/HDL ratio (P = 0.001), and WHO CVR score ≥ 10% (P = 0.018).
