Purine-rich foods, protein intake, and the prevalence of hyperuricemia: The Shanghai Men’s Health Study Abstract Background and Aims—Diet may play an important role in the development of hyperuricemia and gout. However, the association between dietary factors and hyperuricemia remains unclear, and few studies have investigated direct links between food intake and hyperuricemia. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between high purine-content foods and protein intake with the prevalence of hyperuricemia by using data from a cross-sectional study of 3,978 men aged ...

The role of the Mediterranean diet in hyperuricemia and gout ABSTRACT The effect of diet habits in the induction of hyperuricemia and gout is extensively studied and several nutritional factors exacerbating the disease have been identified. In this review, we discuss the data so far obtained of the beneficial role on controlling hyperuricemia of Mediterranean diet, which is full of mono-unsaturated fatty acids and flavonoids and sort of butter, processed food and red meat. We emphasize that though the published findings are promising the data are limited and more studies are needed. Ke...

The Epidemiology of Uric Acid and Fructose Abstract During the past few decades, the mean serum uric acid levels and the prevalence of hyperuricemia in the general population appear to have increased. Correspondingly, the prevalence and incidence of gout have doubled. Potential reasons behind these trends include the increasing prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome, western life-style factors, increased prevalence of medical conditions (e.g. renal conditions, hypertension, and cardiovascular disorders) and use of medications that increase uric acid levels (e.g. diuretics and ...

Association between Serum Uric Acid Levels, Nutritional and Antioxidant Status in Patients on Hemodialysis Abstract: Purpose: To determine the relationship between uric acid (UA) and nutritional and antioxidant status in hemodialysis (HD) patients, given that hyperuricemia could be an indicator of good nutritional status possibly because of the antioxidant properties of UA. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 93 patients on HD. Hyperuricemia was considered as UA 6.0 mg/dL in females and 7.0 mg/dL in males. Nutritional variables were registered. Blood samples were taken before the ...

Diet and Medication in the Treatment of Hyperuricemia in Hypertensive Patients Objective - To evaluate the effects of diet and medication, either isolated or associated, on serum levels of uric acid in patients with hyperuricemia. Methods - We studied patients from the Hypertension Unit of the University of Goias who had hyperuricemia (men >8.5mg/dL and women >7.5mg/dL). We divided the patients into three groups: G1 (low purine diet), G2 (low purine diet + medication), and G3 (medication only). Patients received allopurinol, 150mg/day titrated up to 300mg/dL when necessary. Patients ...

Association of dietary patterns and hyperuricemia: a cross-sectional study of the Yi ethnic group in China Background: Diet plays an important role in the development of hyperuricemia (HUA), but evidence for association between overall dietary patterns and HUA is scarce and inconsistent. The present study aims to explore association of dietary patterns and HUA among the Yi ethnic group of China. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving people aged more than 18 years. Principal component factor analysis (PCFA) on food groups from a semi-quantitative 52-item food frequency ...
