  1. BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure; CI, confidence interval; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; FBG, fasting blood glucose; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; Mets, metabolic syndrome; OR, odd ratio; SUA, serum uric acid; TG, triglycerides; WC, waist circumference
  2. †Adjusted for baseline age (continuous, years), gender (men and women), residence (urban and rural), education level (illiterate, primary school, middle school or above), marital status (married and unmarried), cigarette smoking (never, former, and current), alcohol drinking (never, former, and current), WC (continuous, cm), BMI (continuous, kg/m2), systolic BP (continuous, mmHg), FBG (continuous, mg/dL), TG (continuous, mg/dL), and HDL-C (continuous, mg/dL), and eGFR (continuous, mL/min/1.73 m2). Baseline SUA (continuous, mg/dL) was additionally adjusted as covariate in the analysis of quartiles of absolute changes in SUA
  3. *P values for interaction were estimated using the Wald test for the product term of the stratifying variable and SUA groups to the main model
