Background We aimed to investigate the association of serum UA level with muscle strength
assessed by handgrip strength (HGS) in a large Korean adult population. Methods Cross …

Background Uric acid (UA) may protect muscle function from oxidative damage due to
reactive oxygen species through its powerful antioxidant capacity. However, several studies …

Objectives To investigate the association between serum uric acid (UA) and relative hand
grip strength (HGS) in comparison with metabolic syndrome components. Methods We …

There is an ongoing debate regarding the relationship between uric acid and osteoarthritis
(OA). Therefore, we sought to clarify this association using data from the Seventh Korea …

Background & aims Increased oxidative stress seems to be one of the causes of muscle
strength loss during aging. Uric acid (UA) is an important antioxidant that has been positively …

Background One of the causes of strength loss in older adults is the increased oxidative
stress; thus, substances with antioxidants properties may have protective effects on muscle …

Objective Gout and hyperuricemia incidence is increasing worldwide, reflecting pandemic
overweight and obesity. However, the magnitude of the association of body mass index …

Serum uric acid (UA) has strong anti-oxidant properties. Muscle strength and mass decrease
with age, and recently, this decrease has been defined as sarcopenia. Sarcopenia may be …

Background Sarcopenia is the decline in muscle strength and mass attributed to aging. The
pathogenesis of sarcopenia may be triggered by oxidative stress; uric acid (UA) has strong …

Background Given that some of the deleterious effects of uric acid (UA) on health are greater
in younger than in older subjects, and that age is strongly associated with skeletal muscle …
