title: [Evaluation of the relation of job stress and food intake to hyperuricemia].
abstract: To evaluate the relation of job stress and food intake to hyperuricemia, a case-control study was performed in male subjects who had undergone complete physical examinations. Cases (n = 113) were those with hyperuricemia of over 7.5 mg/dl and controls (n = 113) were those with serum uric acid of less than 7.5 mg/dl. Stepwise regression analysis was performed using sixteen items which were significantly related to hyperuricemia by McNemar's method. Consequently, four items; "negative attitude toward work (Odds ratio 5.22, p < 0.01)", "tendency to become competitive in the job and other areas (Odds ratio 5.54, p < 0.01)" in type A behavior, "high meat consumption (Odds ratio 6.94, p < 0.01)", and "high fat intake (Odds ratio 4.05, p < 0.01)", were significantly related to hyperuricemia.
