  • Epidemiological Study on Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia Associated with Cardiovascular Risk Factors between Urban and Rural Areas in Chengdu

    Objective To investigate the prevalence of hyperuricemia and the current status as well as differences of cardiovascular risk factors in hyperuricemia patients between urban and rural areas in Chengdu. Methods We randomly sampled 2 032 patients aged from 35 to 70 years age in urban and rural communities, using a questionnaire, physical examination and laboratory tests. Results a) The prevalence of hyperuricemia was 17.77%, which was higher in urban residents (21.38%) than that in rural residents (14.16%). b) The prevalence of hyperuricemia associated with hypercholesterolemia was higher in urban residents (34.10%) than that in rural residents (13.98%); urban women (39.06%) were higher than rural women (16.13%) and urban men (26.97%) were higher than rural men (12.20%). c) The prevalence of hyperuricemia associated with hypertension which was higher in urban residents (58.06%) than that in rural residents (32.64%); urban women (59.38%) were higher than rural women (35.48%) and urban men (56.18%) were higher than rural men (30.49%). d) The prevalence of hyperuricemia associated with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in urban women (28.91%) were lower than that in rural women (45.16%). Conclusion Hypercholesterolemia and hypertension are the most commonly seen cardiovascular risk factors accompanied in patients with hyperuricemia in urban areas, which has obviously higher prevalence than in rural areas. IGT is the most commonly seen cardiovascular risk factors accompanied in patients with hyperuricemia among rural women. But in aspects of hyperuricemia associated with impaired fasting glucose (IFG), hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density fetoprotein cholesterol, abdominal obesity and obesity, there is no difference between urban and rural areas.
