Background: Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), and the ratio of FEV1 to FVC (FEV1/FVC) are considered as the major spirometry parameters. Serum uric acid is associated with increased risk of gout and cardiovascular disease. We analyzed the relationship between pulmonary function and serum uric acid level in the Korean men and women.
Methods: This study was based on the data collected during the 2016 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VII-1). A total of 3,411 adults were retrieved from KNHANES VII-1. Among 3,411 adults, 1,500 were men and 1,911 were women.
Results: In this study, a significant negative correlation was observed between serum uric acid level and pulmonary function values only in females. Also, in the male non-smoker group, pulmonary function values were negatively associated with serum uric acid level (FVC %predicted, β=?0.014; FEV1 %predicted, β=?0.015).
Conclusions: In this study, hyperuricemia was associated with the low lung function in males and females. In order to obtain an accurate assessment of the association between hyperuricemia and pulmonary function values, further prospective cohort study in the future is necessary.
