^a Unadjusted model (age was used as the time scale).

^b Adjusted for body mass index (weight (kg)/height (m)²); intakes of protein, organ meat, and shellfish; daily intake of alcoholic drinks; income; educational level; cigarette use; diabetes; renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate categories of ≥90, 60–89, or <60 mL/minute/1.73 m²); coronary heart disease; waist-to-hip ratio; weight change between age 25 years and cohort entry; and menopause (women only).

^c Adjusted for model 2 covariates plus hypertension and diuretic use.

^d Adjusted for model 3 covariates plus serum urate level at cohort entry.
