ObjectiveSerum uric acid (SUA) has been associated with cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and carotid artery stenosis. However, data on the relationship between SUA level and proximal extracranial artery stenosis (PEAS) are limited. Therefore, this study investigates the association between SUA levels and the risk of PEAS in asymptomatic Chinese population.SettingThis community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Jidong Community Hospital, Tangshan, Hebei, China between July 2013 and August 2014.ParticipantsThe study examined 3325 asymptomatic participants (40–60 years) to evaluate the risk of PEAS.ResultsFor the participants stratified into quartiles based on gender-specific SUA levels, the prevalence of PEAS increased from Q1 to Q4 from 12.3% to 29.8% in the vertebral artery (VA), and from 2.8% to 5.8% in the common carotid artery. The proportion of PEAS relative to the detected number of arterial stenosis was lower in Q1 than in Q2–Q4. The multivariable ORs and 95% CI of PEAS in the second through fourth compared with the lowest quartiles for arterial stenosis were 1.278 (0.980 to 1.665), 1.117 (0.851 to 1.468) and 1.375 (1.033 to 1.830) (ptrend=0.0399); and for VA stenosis, 1.285 (0.966 to 1.709), 1.085 (0.808 to 1.457) and 1.439 (1.061 to 1.952) (ptrend=0.0235).ConclusionElevated SUA concentration is significantly associated with PEAS in an asymptomatic middle-aged Chinese population, and vertebral arteries appeared to be the most vulnerable vessels.

Abstract Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is linked to some metabolic disorders. Herein, we explored the relationship of levels of serum uric acid （SUA）with NAFLD in a population of non-obese Chinese. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that involved 183,903 Chinese men and women with an average age of 40.98 years who underwent physical examinations at a health screening center at Wenzhou People’s Hospital. We defined NAFLD by ultrasound detection of steatosis. We employed univariate analysis along with multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses to investigate the relationship of SUA level with NAFLD. Moreover, we employed the receiver operating characteristic curve to establish the SUA cutoffs of estimating NAFLD. Results: Overall, 25,501 participants (13.9%) had NAFLD. The NAFLD ORs were 1.47 (95% CI 1.35 to 1.59), 2.01 (95% CI 1.85 to 2.18) and 2.77 (95% CI 2.55 to 3.02) compared with Q1.AUC values for SUA ratios was 0.728. The optimal SUA level cut-off value for identification of NAFLD was 287.5, with a specificity and a sensitivity of 60.7% and 73.9%, respectively.Conclusion: High Serum uric acid levels shows positive correlation with NAFLD. SUA constitutes a cheap, simple, non-invasive, as well as a beneficial biomarker that could be utilized to forecast NAFLD in the non-obese Chinese population.
