Neck circumference (NC) measurement has been recently developed as a simple and time-saving anthropometric method for predicting cardiovascular risk. Asymptomatic hyperuricemia is known as one of the cardiovascular risk factors. This study investigated the association between NC and asymptomatic hyperuricemia among the general population of Korea.
This cross-sectional study examined data from 7,629 participants in the 2019-2020 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with hyperuricemia.
Approximately 10% of participants corresponded to hyperuricemia group who were likely to be male, have more comorbidities, poorer habits, and larger NC. Multivariable regression analysis revealed that NC was significantly associated with hyperuricemia in women (OR 1.17; 95% CI 1.06-1.30), but not in men (OR 1.04; 95% CI 0.96-1.12).
A large NC is independently correlated with hyperuricemia among Korean women.
颈围（NC）测量最近已发展成为一种用于预测心血管风险的简单且省时的人体测量方法。无症状高尿酸血症是已知的心血管危险因素之一。本研究调查了韩国普通人群中颈围与无症状高尿酸血症之间的关联。
这项横断面研究分析了2019 - 2020年韩国国民健康与营养检查调查中7629名参与者的数据。采用多变量逻辑回归分析来确定与高尿酸血症相关的因素。
约10%的参与者属于高尿酸血症组，这些人可能为男性，有更多合并症，生活习惯较差，且颈围较大。多变量回归分析显示，颈围与女性高尿酸血症显著相关（比值比1.17；95%置信区间1.06 - 1.30），但与男性无关（比值比1.04；95%置信区间0.96 - 1.12）。
在韩国女性中，较大的颈围与高尿酸血症独立相关。
