Abstract
The researchers evaluated the association between hyperuricemia and metabolic risk components in Korean women of reproductive and postmenopausal ages. The study data were collected from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2016. Among a total of 4305 female participants, the data of 2958 women were analyzed. Of the 2958 participants, 57.6% (n = 1508) were of reproductive age. After adjusting for factors, hyperuricemia was significantly associated with abdominal obesity (OR 4.30, p = .046), high blood pressure (OR 3.23, p = .002), and hypertriglyceridemia (OR 3.08, p = .005) in reproductive women. In contrast, no metabolic risk was significantly associated with hyperuricemia in postmenopausal women.
