Abstract
:
A study was conducted in King Abdulaziz University to asses the mean uric acid level, the prevalence of hyperuricaemia among the University staff and to investigate the related risk factors. The mean uric acid level was 5.0 mg/dl (0.30 mmol/l); men had a higher mean value than women (5.7 mg/dl, 0.34 mmol/l vs. 3.6 mg/dl, 0.22 mmol/l), respectively. Hyperuricaemia was found in 10.2% of the population examined, still hyperuricaemia was higher among men (13.8%) than women (2.5%). To study the related risk factors, univariate and multiple logistic regression analysis were carried out. The risk factors that were significantly associated with hyperuricaemia included sex and body overweight. Men were 7.1 more risk to develop hyperuricaemia than women and overweight individuals were at 3.8 more risk than normal weight individuals
