Abstract
Objectives: Despite substantial evidence that visceral obesity is an epidemiological risk factor for hyperuricemia (HUA), studies on the connection between the Metabolic Score for Visceral Fat (METS-VF) and HUA remain insufficient. This research focused on METS-VF's potential role as a risk factor for HUA.
Methods: Notably, 8,659 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2018 were enrolled in this study. Propensity score matching (PSM), multivariate logistic regression analysis, subgroup analysis, interaction test, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis were implemented to identify the correlation between METS-VF and HUA.
Results: In the fully adjusted model, the results of the multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that METS-VF was related to an elevated prevalence of HUA [before PSM: odds ratio (OR) = 3.51 (2.88, 4.27), p < 0.001; after PSM: OR = 2.90 (2.36, 3.58), p < 0.001]. In RCS analysis, a non-linear positive correlation was observed between METS-VF and the incidence of HUA (before PSM: p-non-linear <0.001; after PSM: p-non-linear = 0.0065). Subgroup analysis and interaction tests revealed that the impact of METS-VF on HUA was modified by sex and ethnicity.
Conclusion: There is a significant positive correlation between METS-VF and HUA in adults in the United States. METS-VF could serve as a valuable metric for assessing the development and progression of HUA.
期刊介绍:
No subject pertains more to human life than nutrition. The aim of Frontiers in Nutrition is to integrate major scientific disciplines in this vast field in order to address the most relevant and pertinent questions and developments. Our ambition is to create an integrated podium based on original research, clinical trials, and contemporary reviews to build a reputable knowledge forum in the domains of human health, dietary behaviors, agronomy & 21st century food science. Through the recognized open-access Frontiers platform we welcome manuscripts to our dedicated sections relating to different areas in the field of nutrition with a focus on human health.
Specialty sections in Frontiers in Nutrition include, for example, Clinical Nutrition, Nutrition & Sustainable Diets, Nutrition and Food Science Technology, Nutrition Methodology, Sport & Exercise Nutrition, Food Chemistry, and Nutritional Immunology. Based on the publication of rigorous scientific research, we thrive to achieve a visible impact on the global nutrition agenda addressing the grand challenges of our time, including obesity, malnutrition, hunger, food waste, sustainability and consumer health.
