Research progress on the correlation between blood uric acid and osteoporosis

Abstract

Osteoporosis is the most common chronic metabolic disease in the skeletal system, characterized by decreased bone density and degradation of bone microstructure. Hyperuricemia caused by purine metabolic disorders is a metabolic disorder syndrome, and its incidence has significantly increased in recent years, showing a trend of gradually younger development. In recent years, the incidence rate has increased significantly and has a younger trend. Scholars both domestically and internationally have conducted extensive research on the correlation between osteoporosis and uric acid. Studies have shown a correlation between the two, but the exact relationship remains controversial due to many confounding factors. This article provides a review of the correlation between blood uric acid and osteoporosis.
