The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between serum uric acid, BMI, fasting blood sugar, TG and HDL in Korean health check examinees. The respondents consisted of 2539 female adults and 3252 male adults in Gyunggi province. The subjects were divided into 4 groups by gender and serum uric acid level: FH (female hyperuricemia, n=84: 3.3% in female; whose serum uric acid level is higher than 6 mg/dl), FC (female control, n=2434: 96.7% in female; whose serum uric acid level is 6 mg/dl or under), MH (male hyperuricemia, n=529: 16.6% in male; whose serum uric acid level is higher than 7 mg/dl), and MC (male control, n=2657: 83.4% in male; whose serum uric acid level is 7 mg/dl or under). Fasting blood sugar in FH (102.5 mg/dl) was significantly higher than FC (94.0 mg/dl) (P<0.05). TG in FH (171.5 mg/dl) was significantly higher than FC (108.8 mg/dl) (P<0.001). TG in MH (196.0 mg/dl) was significantly higher than MC (155.1 mg/dl) (P<0.01). HDL‐C in MH (50.1 mg/dl) was significantly lower than MC (54.1 mg/dl) (P<0.01). TG and BMI were positively correlated with serum uric acid in female (p<0.01) and male (p<0.01) respectively. But HDL was negatively correlated with serum uric acid in female (p<0.01) and male (p<0.01). This study highlights that the serum uric acid was positively influenced fasting blood sugar, TG and BMI.
