Background  Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) is a novel inflammatory marker that has been used to predict various inflammation-related diseases. This study aims to explore the association between MHR and prevalent hyperuricemia in a rural Chinese population.    Methods  8163 eligible participants (mean age: 54.13 years, males: 45.71%) from northeast China were enrolled in this cross-sectional study between 2012 to 2013. MHR was determined as blood monocyte count ratio to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration.    Results  The prevalence of hyperuricemia was 12.86%. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, per SD increase of MHR caused a 25.2% additional risk for hyperuricemia, and the top quartile of MHR had an 82.9% increased risk for hyperuricemia compared with the bottom quartile. Additionally, smooth curve fitting and subgroup analyses showed a linear and robust association between MHR and prevalent hyperuricemia respectively. Finally, after introducing MHR into the established model of risk factors, the AUC displayed a significant improvement (0.718 vs 0.724,  p  = 0.008). Furthermore, Category-free net reclassification improvement (0.160, 95% CI: 0.096–0.224,  P  < 0.001) and integrated discrimination improvement (0.003, 95% CI: 0.002–0.005,  P  < 0.001) also demonstrated significant improvements.    Conclusions  The present study suggests that MHR was positively and independently correlated with prevalent hyperuricemia among rural Chinese adults. Our results also implicate an important value for MHR in optimizing the risk stratification of hyperuricemia.
