From: Dose-response Relationship of Serum Uric Acid with Metabolic Syndrome and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Incidence: A Meta-analysis of Prospective Studies

Figure 3

Dose-response relations between serum uric acid levels and risk of metabolic syndrome/non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in prospective studies.

(A) Restricted cubic splines and generalized least squares dose-response models on evaluation of association between uric acid and risk of metabolic syndrome in men; (B) Restricted cubic splines and generalized least squares dose-response models on evaluation of association between uric acid and risk of metabolic syndrome in women; (C) Restricted cubic splines and generalized least squares dose-response models on evaluation of association between uric acid and risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The solid line represents the fitted hazard ratios curve compared to the subgroup with the lowest mean dose of uric acid and flanked dotted line is 95%CI of this risk by restricted cubic splines model. Middle dotted line represents the weighted regression index compared to subgroup with lowest mean dose of uric acid by generalized least squares model.
