  • Non-adjusted model adjusted for none.

  • Minimally adjusted model adjusts for gender, age and race/ethnicity.

  • Fully adjusted model adjusts for gender, age, race/ethnicity, education level, poverty income ratio, marital status, physical activity, body mass index, hypertension history, diabetes history, respiratory disease history had at least 12 alcohol drinks/year, smoked at least 100 cigarettes in life, foods of affecting SUA eaten during past 30 days, serum calcium, phosphorus, total bilirubin, total protein, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total cholesterol and glycohaemoglobin.

  • FEV1, forced expiratory volume in one second; FVC, forced vital capacity; SCr, serum creatinine; SUA, serum uric acid.
