饮食嗜好及体重对中老年人血尿酸的影响

Influence of dietary habits and body weight on blood uric acid in the elderly

调查４１６例中老年人饮食嗜好及百分体重指数对血尿酸水平的影响。结果示：嗜茶、嗜酒及嗜好辛辣食物者血尿酸水平显著高于不嗜者（Ｐ＜０．０５或＜０．０１）；超重或肥胖者的高尿酸血症检出率为２７．４％，显著高于正常体重及偏瘦者，分别为后二者的２倍与３．４倍。提示控制酒。

Influence of dietary habits, body weight on blood uric acid was studied in 416 elderly people. The result showed that level of blood uric acid in the people who had habits of drinking alcohol, tea and taking hot foods was higher than that who never had those habits (P<0.05 or 0.01). It also showed that level of blood uric acid was significantly increased in the over weight or obesity people (P<0.05). The hyperuricemia incidence in the over weight or obesity people is 27.4 per cent, and it is 2 times and 3.4 times of the people with ideal weight and weak weight, respectively. It is suggested that the patients with gout or hyperuricemia give up drinking alcohol, tea and taking hot foods for their health. Reducing body weight is one of the effective measures to prevent and treat gout or hyperuricemia in the elderly.
