Objective: To explore the associated factors of hyperuricemia (HUA) through the study of epidemiological and biochemical indicators of population analysis.

Methods: Patients were recruited from October 2012 to December 2013 from the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jiamusi City. 212 patients diagnosed with HUA were selected as the case group and 424 cases of non-hyperuricemia were selected as the control group (sex matched and age matched with a difference of less than 3 years old). Patients completed a field inquiry questionnaire, which included basic information and dietary habits. At the same time, patients’ laboratory and biochemical indicator data were obtained from the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jiamusi City (e.g. serum Uric Acid (UA), Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG), lipids, etc.).

Results: Multifactorial logistic regression analysis: Dietary factors: regular consumption of seafood and beans were the associated factors of HUA; the OR values were 1.84 (95% CI: 1.69~2.01, P=0.019) and 1.69 (95% CI: 1.55~1.85, P=0.004), respectively. Metabolic factors: Total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) levels were the associated factors for HUA; the OR values were 2.72 (95% CI: 2.50~2.97, P=0.006) and 3.02 (95% CI: 2.77~3.29, P<0.001), respectively.

Conclusion: Dietary factors associated with HUA include regular consumption of beans and seafood; metabolic factors associated with HUA include abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism.
