There is substantial relation between individuals serum uric acid level and their heights and weights. Even when the association of uric acid level with height/weight is partialed out, significant resemblances in uric acid level are found between biologically related persons (parents and offspring; siblings) but not between spouses. When the association of height/weight is partialed out, uric acid level does not have a significant association with measures of cognitive ability or with educational or occupational attainment.
个体血清尿酸水平与他们的身高和体重之间存在显著关联。即使排除尿酸水平与身高/体重的关联，在生物学上相关的人（父母与子女；兄弟姐妹）之间仍发现尿酸水平有显著相似性，但配偶之间则没有。当排除身高/体重的关联后，尿酸水平与认知能力指标、教育程度或职业成就没有显著关联。
