Abstract

To evaluate the association between ambient air pollution and hyperuricemia, we prospectively followed 1748 traffic police officers without hyperuricemia at baseline (2009–2014) from 11 districts in Guangzhou, China. We calculated six-year average PM₁₀, SO₂ and NO₂ concentrations using data collected from air monitoring stations. The hazard ratios for hyperuricemia per 10 µg/m³ increase in air pollutants were 1.46 (95% CI: 1.28–1.68) for PM₁₀, 1.23 (95% CI: 1.00–1.51) for SO₂, and 1.43 (95% CI: 1.26–1.61) for NO₂. We also identified changes in the ratio of serum uric acid to serum creatinine concentrations (ua/cre) per 10 µg/m³ increase in air pollutants as 11.54% (95% CI: 8.14%-14.93%) higher for PM₁₀, 5.09% (95% CI: 2.76%-7.42%) higher for SO₂, and 5.13% (95% CI: 2.35%-7.92%) higher for NO₂, respectively. Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution was associated with a higher incidence of hyperuricemia and an increase in ua/cre among traffic police officers.
