Abstract
Objective To explore the association between plasma homocysteine (Hcy) level and hyper-uricemia (HUA) in the elderly patients with hypertension.Methods From March to August in 2018,9902 hypertensive patients ≥ 60 years were routinely tested for blood biochemical indicators in Wuyuan county,Jiangxi province.The patients were assigned into a HUA group and a normal uric acid group.Multivariate Logistic regression was adopted to analyze the relationship between Hcy level and the risk of HUA.Results Compared with the normal uric acid group,the HUA group showed increased incidence of hyperhomocysteinemia (99.9% vs.98.7%,P<0.001) and elevated Hcy level[16.8 (13.8-21.5) μmol/L vs.14.4 (12.3-17.7) μmol/L,P<0.001].The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for influencing factors,the risk of HUA in the patients with hyperhomocysteinemia was 2.92 times of that in the patients with a normal Hcy level.The threshold effect analysis showed that the Hcy level was positively correlated with the occurrence of HUA in the case of Hcy<20 μmol/L (OR=1.05,95%CI=1.04-1.07,P<0.001).In the case of Hcy ≥ 20 μmol/L,there was no correlation between Hcy level and HUA (OR=1.00,95%CI=0.99-1.00,P=0.055),and the likelihood ratio test showed statistically significant results (P<0.001).Conclusion The elderly with hypertension should pay attention to control the Hcy level,which will be helpful to prevent the occurrence of HUA.
期刊介绍:
Acta Academiae Medicinae Sinicae was founded in February 1979. It is a comprehensive medical academic journal published in China and abroad, supervised by the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China and sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College.
The journal mainly reports the latest research results, work progress and dynamics in the fields of basic medicine, clinical medicine, pharmacy, preventive medicine, biomedicine, medical teaching and research, aiming to promote the exchange of medical information and improve the academic level of medicine. At present, the journal has been included in 10 famous foreign retrieval systems and their databases [Medline (PubMed online version), Elsevier, EMBASE, CA, WPRIM, ExtraMED, IC, JST, UPD and EBSCO-ASP]; and has been included in important domestic retrieval systems and databases [China Science Citation Database (Documentation and Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences), China Core Journals Overview (Peking University Library), China Science and Technology Paper Statistical Source Database (China Science and Technology Core Journals) (China Institute of Scientific and Technological Information), China Science and Technology Journal Paper and Citation Database (China Institute of Scientific and Technological Information)].
