Association between serum uric acid and arterial stiffness in a low-risk, middle-aged, large Korean population: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the association between serum uric acid (SUA) and brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in an apparently healthy population. We performed a cross-sectional study on middle-aged Koreans who completed a yearly health-screening program between January and December 2014. Subjects with coronary artery disease, diabetes, or hypertension were excluded. Linear regression analyses were used to study the relationship between SUA and baPWV. Multiple adjustments were made for variables based on clinical or statistical significance. Of 66,917 study participants (38,170 men and 28,747 women), the mean age was 39.4?±?6.7 years and the average SUA level was 5.23?±?1.4?mg/dL. SUA values were higher in men than in women (6.1?±?1.2?mg/dL vs. 4.1?±?0.8?mg/dL). SUA was linearly associated with baPWV in women and in men (P?

Project description:OBJECTIVES:To explore whether bone mineral density (BMD) is associated with arterial stiffness in middle-aged and elderly people with an advanced arterial stiffness index as indicated by the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). DESIGN:A cross-sectional study. SETTING:This study was conducted from September 2015 to May 2017 at the geriatrics department of a provincial medical centre in China. PARTICIPANTS:A total of 580 patients aged 50 and over were enrolled in the study. The mean age of the group was 64.82±11.4 years, and 63.1% were male. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES:Associations of age with CAVI values and BMD. Associations between BMD and CAVI values. RESULTS:With increasing age, CAVI values gradually increased (p<0.001) and the femoral neck (FN) and total hip (TH) BMD gradually decreased (p<0.001, all). In the bivariate correlation analyses between the covariates and CAVI values, age and CAVI values showed the greatest positive correlation (r=0.631, p<0.001), and CAVI values were negatively correlated with FN BMD (r=-0.229, p<0.001) and TH BMD (r=-0.218, p<0.001). In the linear regression analyses, TH BMD (B=-1.812 (95% CI -2.475 to -1.149), p<0.001) and FN BMD (B=-1.968 (95% CI -2.651 to -1.284), p<0.001) were negatively correlated with CAVI values. After adjusting for age, gender, body mass index, smoking, history of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease, history of diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood uric acid, fibrinogen and estimated glomerular filtration rate, only TH BMD was still negatively correlated with CAVI values (B=-0.843 (95%CI -1.454 to -0.232), p=0.007). However, there was no consistent and significant correlation between lumbar spine BMD and CAVI values. CONCLUSION:In this cross-sectional study, a significant correlation between TH BMD and CAVI values was observed in middle-aged and elderly Chinese inpatients. However, our cohort was a small sample of inpatients, and prospective studies from more centres are expected.
