Age-standardized prevalence rates of gout and hyperuricemia.

<p>Gout was defined as self-reported physician/provider diagnosis. Hyperuricemia was defined as serum urate >7.0 mg/dL for men and >6 mg/dL for women. Trend tests performed by survey weighted logistic regressions where age and estimated glomerular filtration rates were utilized as continuous measures were statistically significant in both the cases (p<0.001). Conversion factors for units: serum urate in mg/dL to µmole/L, × 59.48.
