The association and interaction analysis of hypertension and uric acid on cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy

Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate associations among hypertension (HTN) and uric acid (UA) with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN), and to estimate the extent to which synergistic effects of HTN and UA affect the outcome in a Chinese population. Method We conducted a large-...

Zusammenfassung:Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate associations among hypertension (HTN) and uric acid (UA) with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN), and to estimate the extent to which synergistic effects of HTN and UA affect the outcome in a Chinese population. Method We conducted a large-scale, population-based study to analyze the association and interaction of the two factors for CAN in a sample of 2092 Chinese people. Univariate and multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis were employed to detect these relationships. Interaction on an additive scale can be calculated by using the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), the proportion attributable to interaction (AP), and the synergy index ( S ). Result After adjusting for confounding factors, MLR showed that HTN was independently associated with CAN ( P
