Objective: Uric acid (UA) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (UHR) has been recognized as a novel biomarker for evaluating inflammatory and anti-inflammatory interaction. However, it is not known whether UHR is related to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The current research aims to explore the potential role of UHR in predicting AAA.
Methods: In this study, 303 AAA patients and 408 normal subjects were retrospectively analyzed. The relationship between UHR and AAA was evaluated using Logistic regression models. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis were employed to elucidate the detailed association between UHR and AAA.
Results: UHR value in the AAA group was significantly higher than that in the normal group, and UHA was an independent risk factor for AAA. After adjusting for covariates, each 1-unit increase in UHR was associated with a 12% rise in AAA risk (OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.21). ROC value of UHR was 0.847 (95% CI, 0.811~0.887, P < 0.05), and the optimal critical value of UHR was 17.2%. The incidence of AAA in the UHR≥17.2% group was significantly higher than that in the UHR < 17.2% group. RCS curves revealed a significant nonlinear relationship between UHR and AAA events (p-value < 0.001, p-nonlinear = 0.002).
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that UHR levels are significantly linked to increased AAA risk, which can be widely used as an indicator for dynamic screening of AAA.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between the uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) and testosterone deficiency (TD) in US men aged 20 and older.
- Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) showed a positive correlation between higher UHR and increased risk of TD, as well as a negative correlation with testosterone levels.
- Among the 2,844 participants, those in the highest UHR quartile had significantly lower testosterone levels and a 2.35 times greater risk of TD compared to those in the lowest quartile.

Background: Previous studies have reported that metabolic syndrome is associated with depression. In recent years, the ratio of uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (UHR) has been considered as a new effective marker of metabolic syndrome. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between UHR and depression in people aged 45 years and older in China using the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS) database.

Background: Depression is associated with inflammation, and the uric acid to HDL-C cholesterol ratio (UHR) has emerged as a potential marker of increased inflammation; however, the association between UHR and depression is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to explore this association in a sample from the general US population.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 11,444 participants ≥20 years of age from the 2009-2014 NHANES database.

Objective: Some studies have shown that uric acid (UA) to high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) ratio (UHR), as an indicator of inflammation, is associated with metabolic syndrome and hypertension, but its relationship with decreased renal function is unclear. This study intends to analyze the relationship between UHR and decline in renal function.
Methods: Data were obtained from the 2011-2015 data of the China Health and Aging Tracking Survey (CHARLS) of Peking University, and 7,198 study participants were included and followed up until 2015.
