BACKGROUNDIn the present analysis, we investigated the association of serum uric acid with aortic stiffness and pressure as measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) and central systolic blood pressure (SBP), respectively.METHODSOur study was conducted in the framework of cardiovascular health examinations for the employees of a factory and their family members (ages 15-79 years). We performed arterial measurements using the SphygmoCor device. Hyperuricemia was defined as a serum uric acid concentration of at least 420 mu mol/l in men and 360 mu mol/l in women.RESULTSThe 940 study participants included 207(22.0%) hypertensive patients, of whom 92(9.8%) took antihypertensive medication. Men (n = 620), compared with women (n = 320), had significantly (P
