Abstract: Hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome were studied in 17 762 subjects of Tianjin Municipality from July 2007 to July 2009. The overall prevalence rate of hyperuricemia was 12. 16% (2160cases) , the rate in males was significantly higher than that in females (15. 71% vs. 6. 51% , P <0. 01).The overall prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome was 25. 56% (4540 cases) , the rate in males was also higher than that in females (28. 17% vs. 21. 40% , P <0. 01). Binary logistic regression analysis disclosed that females with high uric acid were twice likely to suffer from metabolic syndrome than males; and female ≤ 44 years with hyperuricemia had the highest odd ratio for metabolic syndrome.
