Key result
High serum uric acid linked to ~167% higher odds of hypertension versus low levels.
Why the study?
The relationship between serum uric acid levels and traditional cardiovascular risk factors has not been well-established among Xiamen residents.
Are higher serum uric acid levels associated with increased traditional cardiovascular risk factors and 10-year ASCVD risk in Xiamen residents?
Population
1,322 participants from eight community health service centers in Xiamen, China
Comparison
Four groups divided according to quartiles of SUA levels
Design
Real-world study

May support uric acid screening in Chinese communities; leaves open causal role and intervention effects on hypertension.
Cross-Sectional (n=1,322)
Yes
Are higher serum uric acid levels associated with increased traditional cardiovascular risk factors and 10-year ASCVD risk in Xiamen residents?
Odds Ratio: 2.671 (95% CI 1.777–4.015)
Absolute Event Rate: 62.1% vs 33%
p-value: p=<0.001
Higher serum uric acid levels are significantly associated with an increased prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors and higher 10-year ASCVD risk in a Chinese community population.
Zhāng et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular risk factors (n=1,322). High serum uric acid levels (Quartile 4) vs. Low serum uric acid levels (Quartile 1) was evaluated on Hypertension (OR 2.671, 95% CI 1.777-4.015, p=<0.001). High serum uric acid levels were significantly associated with an increased odds of hypertension (OR 2.671) compared to low levels in Xiamen residents.
