Association between urbanisation and the risk of hyperuricaemia among Chinese adults: a cross-sectional study from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS)
Objective To explore the association between urbanicity and hyperuricaemia (HUA) and whether urbanicity is an independent risk factor for HUA in Chinese adults. Design Data analysis from a cross-sectional survey. Setting and participants 8579 subjects aged 18 years or older were enrolled in the study from the 2009 wave of the China Health and Nutrition Survey to analyse the association between urbanicity and HUA. We divided them into three categories according to urbanisation index (low, medium and highly urbanised groups). Main outcome measures HUA was defined as serum uric acid ≥7 mg/dL in men and ≥6 mg/dL in women. Results The prevalence of HUA in low, medium and highly urbanised groups was 12.2%, 14.6% and 19.8%, respectively. The independent factors influencing serum uric acid included age, gender, hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, drinking, obesity and community-level urbanisation index (β=0.016, pConclusions Our findings suggest that living in highly urbanised areas is linked with higher risk of HUA independent of cardiometabolic and health-related behavioural risk factors, which have been shown to increase along with urbanisation.
