However, whether or to what extent metabolic condition influents the association between obesity and hyperuricemia was not clear. Here, we aimed to examine the association between obese-metabolic phenotype and hyperuricemia in a large sample of Chinese adults.Methods: According to BMI and metabolic syndrome, obese-metabolic phenotype was defined as metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO), metabolically healthy obesity (MHO), metabolically unhealthy non-obesity (MUNO) and metabolically healthy non-obesity (MHNO)in the Tianning cohort (N=5072). We conducted a cross-sectional analysis between obese-metabolic phenotype and hyperuricemia, followed by a Mendelian Randomization analysis using GWAS summary data to confirm the causality between uric acid and BMI.Results: The average level of serum UA showed 41.87-higher μmol/L in participants with MHO (β=41.87, P< 0.001) and 63.18-higher μmol/L in participants with MUO (β=63.18, P< 0.001), compared to those with MHNO. Compared to participants with MHNO, those with MUO had the highest likelihood to have hyperuricemia (OR=4.56, P< 0.001), followed by those with MHO (OR=3.32, P< 0.001). Mendelian randomization analysis indicated that uric acid was more likely to be a consequence of BMI (β=0.059, P=6.54× 10− 154).Conclusion: MUO, in comparison with MHO, was significantly associated with hyperuricemia in Chinese adults.Keywords: metabolic syndrome, obesity, serum uric acid, hyperuricemia
