The association between baseline hyperuricemia and incident diabetes.

Changes of hyperuricemia	Total	Diabetes (n, %)	RR (95% CI)
			Model 1∗	Model 2†	Model 3‡
No hyperuricemia	12771	545 (4.27)	1.00	1.00	1.00
Hyperuricemia	2632	296 (11.25)	2.08 (1.81-2.41)	1.70 (1.46-1.98)	1.48 (1.28-1.71)

Data were relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). ^∗Adjusted for age and sex at baseline. ^†Adjusted for variables in model 1 as well as education level, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, family history of diabetes, and body mass index at baseline. ^‡Adjusted for variables in model 2 as well as systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol at baseline.
