Association of serum uric acid with 2-hour postload glucose in Chinese with impaired fasting plasma glucose and/or HbA1c.

Abstract

ObjectiveTo examine whether serum uric acid (SUA) is associated with 2-hour postload glucose (2-h PG) in Chinese with impaired fasting plasma glucose (IFG) and/or HbA1c (IA1C).Research design and methodsAnthropometric and biochemical examinations, such as SUA concentration, were performed in 3763 individuals from all the villages in Baqiao County, China. A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was conducted in 1197 Chinese with prediabetes as having IFG (110 ≤ fasting plasma glucose [FPG] ResultsThe present study included 1197 participants with IFG and/or IA1C (mean age 56.5 ± 10.3 years; 50.6% men). In multivariate linear regression, after adjustment for gender, age, smoking and drinking, body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP), lipid profiles, logarithmic transformed C-reactive protein (log-CRP), estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR), FPG and HbA1c, with a 1-mg/dl increment of SUA, 2-h PG increased by 5.04 ± 0.72 (PConclusionsSUA is significantly associated with 2-h PG in Chinese with IFG and/or IA1C.
