Models demonstrating the influence of metabolic risk factors on uric acid (UA) level in the total sample. Beta values (B) are expressed in mg/dL of serum uric acid. a: Unadjusted model demonstrating the influence of each metabolic risk factor on UA levels; b: Model adjusted for sex, race, hs-CRP, BMI, HOMA-IR, and smoking; c: Model adjusted for the same variables as model 2 with the addition of physical activity, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and prescription medications that treat hyperuricemia
