Associations of various variables such as obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, habitual alcohol intake, administration of antihypertensive drugs and hyperglycemia related to hyperuricemia were studied on 2,583 male employees of various enterprises. 93 cases (31.4%) out of 296 with serum uric acid of more than 7 mg/dl were associated with two or more variables. Frequently observed combinations of variables were that of habitual alcohol intake and obesity (37 cases out of 296,12.5%), of habitual alcohol intake and hypertriglyceridemia (18 cases,6.0%), of habitual alcohol intake, obesity and hypertriglyceridemia (17 cases,5.7%)and of obesity and hypertriglyceridemia (13 cases,4.3%). In 171 cases with hyperuricemia out of 1,580 in which blood pressure was also investigated, frequently observed combinations were that of hypertension and habitual alcohol intake (15 cases,8.7%) and of hypertension, alcohol intake and obesity (12 cases,7.0%). It was suggested that the prevalence of hyperuricemia and the mean serum uric acid levels in group with two or more variables were higher than those with a single variable.
