Zhang L, et al. - Physical examination data of 24,438 subjects (12,557 men and 11,881 women) in Kaifeng, China was retrospectively examined by the researchers in order to assess age- and gender-related correlation of high triglyceride with hyperuricemia (a widely considered chief risk factor for metabolic syndrome, including dyslipidemia, with hypertriglyceridemia, as the most common lipid abnormality) in a subgroup of the Chinese population. In all citizens, the alanine aminotransferase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, and serum uric acid were measured. High triglyceride was positively related to hyperuricemia as exhibited by univariate and age-adjusted analyses. The positive correlation was marked in the 20 ~, 30 ~, 40 ~, 50 ~, 60 ~ and 80 ~ age groups in men, as shown by age-stratified analysis. No statistically important association was seen in women in 60 ~ and 70 ~ age groups. Hence, in both men and women, high triglyceride was positively linked to hyperuricemia, and this association was age-related, particularly in women.
