Objective:To evaluate the association of hyperuricemia with the risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in community adults.Methods:A community-based follow-up study comprising of 7 276 adults aged 20-74 years who attended the natural population cohort in Eastern China and had no CKD at baseline survey was performed in the Songjiang district, Shanghai. CKD was diagnosed according to the National Kidney Foundation Practice Guidelines for Chronic Kidney Disease criteria. Hyperuricemia was defined as serum uric acid level >420 μmol/L for men and >360 μmol/L for women. Cox proportional hazards model was used to examine the association of hyperuricemia with the risk for CKD.Results:During a median follow-up period of 2.65 year, 301 participants were newly diagnosed with CKD. The cumulative incidence rate and incidence density of CKD were 4.14%, and 16.01/1 000 person-years (95% CI: 14.20-17.82), respectively. A higher prevalence of hyperuricemia was observed in subjects with CKD compared with those without CKD. Multivariate Cox regression model analysis showed that hyperuricemia was associated with the increased risk for CKD, with an adjusted HR of 1.92 (95% CI: 1.46-2.53). Their positive associations remained in almost all the subgroups, including sex, age (<60, ≥60 years), BMI (<25.0, ≥25.0 kg/m 2), type 2 diabetes, and hypertension. A significant synergistic effect of the interaction between age and hyperuricemia on CKD was found, and the synergy index was 1.78 (95% CI: 1.18-2.68). Conclusion:The incidence of CKD in adults in Songjiang district was relatively high. Hyperuricemia is an independent risk factor for the development of CKD.

ObjectiveTo investigate the comorbidity of community patients with stroke in Songjiang District, Shanghai, determine the prevalence and characteristics of comorbidities and influencing factors, and provide scientific evidence for prevention and treatment of stroke. MethodsA natural population-based cohort study was conducted in several communities of Songjiang District from April 2016 to October 2017. Questionnaire survey, physical examination and biochemical examination were conducted in the cohort population to understand the comorbidity of 1 523 patients with stroke at baseline. ResultsThe prevalence of comorbidities in community patients with stroke was 74.0%, which was higher in female (76.36%) than that in male (70.76%). The average number of comorbidities was 2.62±1.56, which was significantly higher in female (2.70±1.58) than that in male (2.52±1.54) (t=-2.31, P=0.021). In this population, the most common two-comorbidity combination was hypertension+central obesity (35.85%), and the most common three-comorbidity combination was hypertension+dyslipidemia+central obesity (17.20%), with statistically significant differences by gender and age groups (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥65 years, urban population, hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), and family history of hypertension were risk factors associated with comorbidities, whereas educational level of middle school and high school, and physical exercise 1‒3 days per week were protective factors. ConclusionPrevalence of comorbidity is high in community patients with stroke in Songjiang District, Shanghai. It is suggested to control blood pressure and body weight, adopt healthy lifestyle and take comprehensive prevention and treatment measures in this population.
