Serum uric acid levels have been determined in random samples of 9-10% of a population of 3000 each in three rural areas of Tanzania. The levels in females are lower than in males. As far as age is concerned the levels in both sexes rise with age but the rate is slower in females resulting in a widening difference with increasing age. Above uric acid levels of 6 mg% the frequency occurrence of 'hyperuricaemia' is equal. The normal distribution of levels was 2.5-5.5 mg% in males and 2.0-4.5 mg% in females. Compared with results among different racial groups elsewhere these levels are lower.
在坦桑尼亚三个农村地区，对3000人的人群中9% - 10%的随机样本测定了血清尿酸水平。女性的尿酸水平低于男性。就年龄而言，两性的尿酸水平均随年龄增长而升高，但女性的升高速度较慢，导致随着年龄增长差异不断扩大。尿酸水平高于6mg%时，“高尿酸血症”的发生率相同。男性尿酸水平的正常分布为2.5 - 5.5mg%，女性为2.0 - 4.5mg%。与其他地方不同种族群体的结果相比，这些水平较低。
