Age- and multivariable-adjusted means of eGFR according to serum uric acid values by gender at baseline
| Serum uric acid quartile | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st (low) | 2nd | 3rd | 4th (high) | |
| Men (n = 321) | ||||
| Serum uric acid (mg/dL) | ≤5.0 | 5.1–5.9 | 6.0–6.6 | ≥6.7 |
| Number of participants | 78 | 84 | 78 | 81 |
| Age-adjusted eGFR (mL/min/1. 73m2) | 90.5 | 87.8 | 83.6 | 82.1 |
| Multivariable-adjusted eGFR (mL/min/1. 73m2) | 90.5 | 88.0 | 83.5 | 82.0 |
| Women (n = 765) | ||||
| Serum uric acid (mg/dL) | ≤3.8 | 3.9–4.3 | 4.4–4.9 | ≥5.0 |
| Number of participants | 204 | 172 | 195 | 194 |
| Age-adjusted eGFR (mL/min/1. 73m2) | 96.3 | 91.2 | 89.3 | 86.1 |
| Multivariable-adjusted eGFR (mL/min/1. 73m2) | 95.7 | 91.3 | 89.2 | 86.7 |
Multivariable adjustment; Adjusted by age, BMI, SBP, HbA1c, HDL-C, LDL-C, smoking habit and drinking habit
eGFR Estimated glomerular filtration rate, BMI Body mass index, SBP Systolic blood pressure, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
