correlation between hypertension, c-reactive protein and serum uric acid with psychological well-being

background multiple population-based human studies have established a strong association between increasing levels of serum c-reactive protein, uric acid and subsequent development of hypertension. objectives we aimed to investigate the association between mental well-being with presence of hypertension, hyperuricemia and hs-crp levels. ‬‬ patients and methods this was a cross sectional study of 801 individuals aged 35-85 years old in broujerd, iran, included by randomized cluster sampling. general health questionnaire (ghq-12) for assessing mental health/distress level, monica standard questions for evaluating hypertension history, serum hs-crp and serum uric acid (sua) were evaluated data were analyzed by appropriate statistical test such as chi-square, t-test and correlation. results one hundred eighty five patients (23.1%) had high distress/minor psychiatric disorders. sua had significant association with hypertension (r = 0.64, p = 0.034). no significant relation was observed between hs-crp and hypertension. the correlation between ghq and hs-crp was not significant but a weak and negative correlation was found between ghq and sua sua (p = 0.012, r = -0.089). conclusions the weak and strong correlation among these parameters indicate that mental wellbeing relays on physical wellness and interact with each other; therefore, controlling hypertension along with uric acid control may effect mental health of any kind of patients.
