Serum uric acid is positively associated with pulmonary function in Korean health screening examinees

Objectives: To determine whether level of serum uric acid (SUA) is linked to pulmonary function in health screening examinees without overt medical conditions. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study on 69,928 Koreans that participated in an annual health check. Results: Percent predicted forc...

Zusammenfassung:	Objectives: To determine whether level of serum uric acid (SUA) is linked to pulmonary function in health screening examinees without overt medical conditions. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study on 69,928 Koreans that participated in an annual health check. Results: Percent predicted forced vital capacity (FVC%) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1%) were positively correlated with SUA in both genders (FVC%: r = .361; FEV1%: r = .314 in males and FVC%: r = .413; FEV1%: r = .382 in females, all p
