| Abstract;In order to seek the relation in the title, the relation between hyperuricemia and obesity, hypertension, abnormal hyperlipemia and diabetes was examined by sex on a cohort of 9914 cases (18-89 years) screened in Okinawa, Japan. As the result, odds ratio of hyperuricemia in males and females were 1.75 and 0.02 for obesity, 1.42 and 1.64 for hypertension, 1.16 and 1.31 for hypercholesterolemia, 1.80 and 1.95 for hypertriglyceridemia, 1.19 and 1.53 for low HDL blood disease, and 0.61 and 1.20 for diabetes, respectively. The ratio of patients having two or more cardiovascular risk factors was 63.3 % in male hyperuricemia patient group, 43.2% in male patient group without hyperuricemia, 58.9 % in female hyperuricemia patient group, and 27.6 % in female patient group without hyperuricemia, respectively. From the above, it is suggested that there might be a positive correlation in both males and females between hyperuricemia and obesity, hypertension and abnormal hyperlipemia. |
