A prospective follow up of serum uric acid levels in school children
Na dvije kontrole, u razmaku od tri godine, odreĀÄena je razina mokraÄne kiseline u serumima 381 uÄenika (starih prosjeÄno 11,4 odnosno 14,3 godine). Uz to su ispitivani i brojni drugi parametri (broj eritrocita, MCV, MCH, MCHC, trigliceridi, holesterol itd.), od kojih je analiziran odnos mokraÄne kiseline i tjelesne težine. Analiziran je i odnos navedenih parametara prema istim, dobivenim u ranijem radu, u kom su ispitivana djeca stara 6,4 godine (prvi razred osnovne Å”kole). NaÄen je statistiÄki znaÄajan porast razine mokraÄne kiseline u djeÄaka starih 14,4 godine te pojava korelacije razine mokraÄne kiseline i tjelesne težine u oba spola (r = 0,35) te dobi (nasuprot manjku te povezanosti u mlaÄih dobnih skupina djece od 6,4, odnosno 11,4 godine starosti).In 381 children serum uric acid levels were measured at the age of 11.4 and 14.3. Numerous other parameters were also measured (as the erythrocytes, MCV, MCH, MCHC, tryglicerides, cholesterol etc) but only the relation among uric acid levels and body weight was analysed. The relation of these parameters and the data we have got in our previous work (in first grade elementary school children aged 6.4 years) is also discussed. We found significant increase of uric acid levels in boys aged 14.4 and an association between the serum uric acid levels and the body weight appears in both sexes at this age (r=0.35). (Opposite to the lack of this association in younger children, aged 6.4, and 11.4)
