چکیده
BACKGROUND The association between alcohol consumption and risk of hyperuricemia has been pointed out. However, the potential difference in the risk of hyperuricemia according to types of alcoholic beverage has not been assessed. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was performed using data from 715 men who had regular medical examinations in their workplace in 2001. Subjects were interviewed using a questionnaire about their lifestyle including types of alcoholic beverages and quantity of alcohol consumed per day. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between the types of alcoholic beverage and high serum uric acid level. RESULTS Compared with subjects who did not drink alcohol, the odds ratio (OR) of hyperuricemia (serum uric acid = 7.0+ mg/dL) was 2.89 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.46-5.71) for subjects who consumed 50+ g/day of ethanol, and 2.64 (95% CI: 1.33-5.24) for subjects who consumed 25-49g/day. Compared with subjects who drank Japanese sake, subjects who drank beer (OR=1.24, 95% CI: 0.55-2.80) or shochu (OR=1.06, 95% CI: 0.44-2.51) did not have a statistically significant difference in risk for hyperuricemia. CONCLUSION These findings from a cross-sectional study of Japanese male office workers suggested that alcohol consumption is associated with an increased risk of hyperuricemia and that this increased risk does not vary according to the types of alcoholic beverage.

BACKGROUND Obesity and drinking are acknowledged risk factors for hyperuricemia. However, the effect of the interaction between obesity and drinking on hyperuricemia is not well understood. METHODS The cases comprised 3028 male office workers with hyperuricemia (serum uric acid level >or=7.0 mg/dL); the controls were 5348 men with a serum uric acid level less than 6.0 mg/dL. Logistic regressi...

BACKGROUND Hyperuricemia is prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We explored the hypothesis that asymptomatic hyperuricemia may be associated with new-onset CKD. METHODS The participants were all male factory workers in Kanagawa, Japan (n = 1,285). All were over 40 years of age and had undergone annual health examinations from 1990 to 2007. Individuals with a history of go...
