Key result
Hyperuricemia linked to ~285% higher odds of ≥3 clustered CV diseases in very elderly women.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular epidemiological features and risk factors for disease clustering among very elderly Chinese remain uncertain.

Hyperuricemia may flag higher multimorbidity risk in very elderly women; leaves open whether uric acid reduction alters clustering in prospective studies.

Is hyperuricemia associated with cardiovascular diseases clustering among very elderly Chinese individuals?
Odds Ratio: 3.85 (95% CI 2.189–6.77)
p-value: p=<0.05
Hyperuricemia is a significant risk factor for the clustering of cardiovascular diseases in very elderly women.
Huang et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular diseases clustering (n=1,038). Hyperuricemia vs. No hyperuricemia was evaluated on Clustering of ≥3 comorbid cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, renal dysfunction, and dyslipidaemia) in women (OR 3.850, 95% CI 2.189-6.770, p=<0.05). Hyperuricemia was significantly associated with a nearly four-fold increased odds of having ≥3 clustered cardiovascular diseases among very elderly women (OR 3.850).
