Objective: Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a useful surrogate marker of
cardiovascular disease. Associations between hyperuricemia, metabolic syndrome and …

Background Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is an useful surrogate marker of
cardiovascular disease. Associations between uric acid (UA), metabolic syndrome (MetS) …

OBJECTIVE: Carotid intima–media thickness (C-IMT) measured noninvasively by
ultrasonography is now widely used as a surrogate marker for atherosclerotic disease and …

Objective—There are few data available on possible independent association between uric
acid and carotid atherosclerosis. Here we first sought to investigate association between uric …

Objective: Serum uric acid (SUA) is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However
it is still disputed whether the relationship is mediated by other risk factors such as obesity …

Objective We aimed to investigate whether elevated serum uric acid concentrations are
associated with higher risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and carotid atherosclerosis in …

Objective Several cohort studies have shown a link between serum uric acid (SUA) and
subsequent cardiovascular disease. However, such an association did not remain …

Objective Recently, increasing epidemiological evidence has shown that there is a
correlation between serum uric acid level (SUA) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) …

The correlates of serum uric acid and the association of uric acid with carotid intimal-medial
thickness (an early measure of atherosclerosis) were investigated in participants of the …

Objective. To examine the association of serum uric acid (SUA) with a marker of preclinical
cardiovascular disease (CVD), carotid atherosclerotic plaques (PLQ), where early evidence …
