Abstract

There have been few prospective studies on the association between serum uric acid (SUA) and the risk of diabetes in women, and there have been few large-scale Chinese studies based on menopause to investigate the association. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the above relationship in Chinese female adults without diabetes. Methods: Data from 5743 premenopausal women and 11,287 postmenopausal women aged 20–74 years were obtained from the Shanghai Suburban Adult Cohort and Biobank (SSACB) study conducted in China. Cox regression models were applied to evaluate the association between SUA levels and the risk of diabetes. Restricted cubic spline analysis and stratified analysis on the basis of menopausal status were performed to explore the dose–response association between SUA levels and diabetes. Results: Among 17,030 participants, incidence rates of diabetes were 3.44/1000 person-years in premenopausal and 8.90/1000 person-years in postmenopausal women. The SUA levels in postmenopausal women were higher than that in premenopausal women ( p < 0.0001). In Cox regression analysis, after adjusting for confounding factors, for each 10 µmol/L increase in SUA levels, the adjusted HR of diabetes was 1.01 (95% CI: 0.97–1.04) in postmenopausal women, and 1.03 (95% CI: 1.01–1.04) in premenopausal women. Compared with the lowest quartile of SUA levels, the HR (95% CI) of diabetes in the highest quartile was 0.99 (0.55–1.79) in premenopausal women and 1.39 (1.07–1.81) in postmenopausal women. Compared with those without hyperuricemia, the HR (95% CI) for diabetes was 1.89 (0.67–5.31) in premenopausal women with hyperuricemia, and 1.55 (1.19–2.02) in postmenopausal women. Moreover, restricted cubic splines models showed that there was a linear relationship between SUA levels and diabetes risk in premenopausal ( p for nonlinear = 0.99) and postmenopausal women ( p for nonlinear = 0.95). Furthermore, the restricted cubic spline graph showed that the risk of diabetes in postmenopausal women increased with an increase in SUA levels ( p = 0.002). Conclusions: In a cohort of Chinese adult women, SUA levels are associated with diabetes risk in postmenopausal women, but this association was not observed in premenopausal women.
