Associations of uric acid with metabolic components and traditional factors (n = 134).
| Variables | Model 1 | Model 2 | Model 3 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standardized coefficient beta | p value | Standardized coefficient beta | p value | Standardized coefficient beta | p value | |
| Waist | 0.154 | 0.129 | ||||
| SBP | -0.063 | 0.637 | ||||
| DBP | 0.293 | 0.020 | 0.275 | 0.001 | ||
| Fasting blood sugar | -0.098 | 0.285 | ||||
| HDL-C | -0.174 | 0.162 | -0.204 | 0.028 | ||
| Triglyceride | 0.168 | 0.208 | 0.171 | 0.064 | ||
| Total cholesterol | -0.040 | 0.842 | -0.047 | 0.745 | ||
| LDL-C | 0.117 | 0.470 | 0.118 | 0.413 | ||
| Met-S score | 0.415 | <0.001 | ||||
Uric acid level was log-transformed (ln) due to nonnormally distribution. Model 1 was the full model with adjusting for waist, LDL-C, TG, HDL-C, total cholesterol, SBP, DBP, and fasting blood sugar. Model 2 was carried out the backward elimination procedure for Model 1. Model 3 was adjusted for Met-S, total cholesterol, and LDL-C. Met-S: metabolic syndrome; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure.
