The Investigation Of The Correlation Of Visceral Fat Area With Serum Uric Acid And Metabolic Syndrome In The Uygur Nationality

Objective:To investigate the correlation of visceral fat area with serum uric acid and metabolic syndrome in the Uygur Nationality in Tianshan District of Urumqi.Method:A cross-sectional survey was conducted among the Uighur residents in the Tianshan District of Urumqi,Xinjiang.using multistage stratified cluster random sampling.All residents were measured and recorded systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),waist circumference(WC).The levels of fasting plasma glucose(FPG),2h blood glucose,total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high density lipoprotein(HDL),low density lipoprotein(LDL)and uric acid(UA)were also be tested.Visceral fat area(VFA)was measured with body composition analyzer.Analyzing their relevance according to the results of visceral fat area,serum uric acid and metabolic syndrome.Result:The serum uric acid level of the Uighur residents of H-VFA group is significantly higher than L-VFA group(p<0.01).Area under ROC curve of VFA with uric acid is 0.718.The prevalence of MS in the H-VFA group is significantly higher than L-VFA group(p<0.01)in the Uighur residents.Area under ROC curve of VFA in the diagnosis of MS is0.858.The area of visceral fat area(VFA)of the Uighur residents is positively correlated with blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),waist circumference(WC),fasting plasma glucose(FPG),2h blood glucose,total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein(LDL)and serum uric acid(UA),and was positively correlated with high density lipoprotein(HDL).Conclusion:In the Uygur,visceral fat area is closely related with serum uric acid and metabolic syndrome.
