Table 4.

Hazard ratios estimated by Cox regression model by using two categories of uric acid levels based on different cut-off values, all belonging to the I tertile. All reported HR refers to values greater than the indicated cut-off.

Uric Acid cut-off (mg/dl)	HR	95% CI	p-value
4.5	1.93	1.23 – 3.04	0.004
4.4	2.11	1.31 – 3.39	0.002
4.3	1.82	1.13 – 2.93	0.013
4.2	1.61	0.99 – 2.61	0.054
4.1	1.57	0.96 – 2.57	0.075

Models are adjusted for age, gender, smoke, alcohol, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, use of diuretics, BADL disability, creatinine clearance, LDL-cholesterol, and C-reactive protein.
