Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid levels, insulin resistance and components of metabolic syndrome. It was conducted on 4,428 adults over the age of 20 who had undergone health checkups at a general hospital in Gyeonggi-do from June 2018 to May 2020. As a result of the study, uric acid levels were higher in the metabolic syndrome subjects than normal subjects in both men and women. and the incidence of metabolic syndrome and its components was higher in the hyperuricemia group than in the normal group. Hyperuricemia was found to increase the risk of elevated blood pressure(p=0.006) and hypertriglyceridemia(p<0.001) in men and metabolic syndrome(p=0.012) and low HDL-cholesterol(p<0.001) in women. Thus, in both men and women, hyperuricemia was associated with metabolic syndrome and its components, and it was confirmed that it was an independent predictor of the onset of metabolic syndrome in women.

본 연구는 한국 성인의 성별에 따른 혈청 요산 수치와 인슐린저항성 및 대사증후군 구성요소간의 관련성을 확인하고자 하였다. 2018년 6월에서 2020년 5월 사이에 경기지역 종합병원에서 건강검진을 받았던 20세 이상 남성 2,365명, 여성 2,063명 총 4,428명을 대상으로 단면연구를 시행하였다. 연구결과 남녀 모두 정상군보다 대사증후군 진단군에서 요산치가 높았으며, 고요산혈증군에서 대사증후군과 그 구성요소의 발병률은 정상군보다 높았다. 고요산혈증은 남성에서 혈압상승(p=0.006)과 고중성지방혈증(p<0.001), 여성에서 대사증후군(p=0.012)과 낮은 HDL-콜레스테롤(p<0.001) 발병 위험을 높이는 요인으로 나타났다. 따라서 남성과 여성 모두에서 고요산혈증은 대사증후군 및 그 구성요소와 관련이 있었으며, 특히 여성에서 대사증후군 발병의 독립적인 예측인자임을 확인하였다.
