Abstract:
Objective To investigate the prevalence of hyperuricemia and its relationship with hy-perlipaemia and hyperglycemia in the elderly .Methods We chose the elderly people whose age were over 60 years and who had routine physical examine during August and September in 2009 , the number of them is 1321.Hyperuricemia is defined as the level of serum uric acid (UA) >416 mmol/L.Hyperlipaemia is defined as the level of serum total cholesterol ( TC)≥5.18 mmol/L; triglyceride ( TG)≥1.70 mmol/L;high-density lipoprotein ( HDL) <1.04 mmol/L and low-density lipoprotein ( LDL)≥3.37 mmol/L.Hy-perglycemia is defined as the level of fasting blood glucose ( FBG)≥6.1 mmol/L.Results There were 344 patients with hyperuricemia accounting for 26.04%.With increasing age , the propotion of the patients with hyperuricemia and the mean levels of UA , TC, TG and LDL respectively showed gradually rising ( P<0.05 respectively).The incidence of hyperlipaemia and hyperglycemia was higher in the hyperuricemia group than those in the controls ( P <0.05 respectively ) .Hyperuricemia in the elderly displayed a positive correlation to TC, TG, LDL and FBG( r =0.9954,0.9805,0.9715,0.9682, P <0.05).Conclusion Hyperuricemia , related with hyperlipaemia as well as hyperglycemia , is common in the elderly and should be paid more attention .
