标题：Dose-response Relationship of Serum Uric Acid with Metabolic Syndrome and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Incidence: A Meta-analysis of Prospective Studies
摘要：Emerging evidence has shown that serum uric acid (SUA) elevation might cause metabolic derangements, including metabolic syndrome (MetS) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); however, magnitude of the risk has not been quantified. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and ISI databases for relevant studies through 10 May 2015. Prospective studies reporting the risk of SUA elevation on the incidence of MetS/NAFLD were enrolled. Pooled HR of MetS was 1.55 (95%CI: 1.40–1.70) for the highest versus lowest SUA categories, and 1.05 (95%CI: 1.04–1.07) per incremental increased in SUA of 1 mg/dl. The pooled HR of MetS in younger women was higher than age-matched men and older women (1.17 vs. 1.05 and 1.04, respectively, P P
