Association Between Serum Uric Acid And Blood Glucose Level In Young Obese Individuals.

[摘要] Obesity is a medical condition which increases the likelihood of various diseases, particularly heartdisease, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer and osteoarthritis. There is scarcity ofinformation about the association between serum uric acid level and blood glucose levels in young adult obesepopulation. In this study, body mass index, Blood Glucose and serum uric acid level were estimated usingstandard procedures in fifty young adult obese individuals. The data was analyzed using Pearson correlation tofind the association between serum glucose and uric acid level in obese individuals. The association betweenblood sugar and the serum uric acid level in male obese subjects showed a positive significant association(r=0.092, p=0.65) but in females it was insignificant (r=0.142, p=0.507). The association between the serum uricacid with fasting blood glucose in obese subjects is insignificant in both males and females. Although, theprevious studies reported the positive association between serum uric acid and fasting blood glucose in obesesubjects belongs to older age group, it was confirmed from the present study that, the association is insignificantin younger age group.
