Association of Uric Acid in Serum and Urine with Arterial Stiffness: Hanzhong Adolescent Hypertension Study

Table 4

Association between various characteristics and the risk of arterial stiffness.

Characteristics	Odds ratios (CI)	value
Gender (male)	0.451 (0.338-0.601)	<0.001
Age (years)	1.186 (1.049-1.124)	<0.001
BMI (kg/m^2)	0.964 (0.927-1.003)	0.070
SBP (mmHg)	1.078 (1.069-1.088)	<0.001
Fasting glucose (mmol/L)	1.051 (0.962-1.149)	0.273
Heart rate (beats/min)	1.445 (0.864-2.418)	0.161
Total cholesterol (mmol/L)	1.175 (1.018-1.356)	0.027
Triglycerides (mmol/L)	0.987 (0.904-1.077)	0.765
SUA (μmol/L)	1.001 (0.999-1.003)	0.268
FEUA	0.998 (0.990-1.007)	0.719
uUA/Cre	1.028 (1.016-1.040)	<0.001

Logistic regression analyses were used to test the risk of arterial stiffness, after adjustment for age, gender, SBP, fasting glucose, BMI, heart rate, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. CI: confidence interval; BMI: body mass index; SUA: serum uric acid; FEUA: fraction excretion of uric acid; uUA/Cre: urinary uric acid/creatinine ratio.
