  OBJECTIVE
  To identify dietary factors associated with glycolipid metabolism disorder and hyperuricemia in middle-aged and elderly people.
  
  
  METHODS
  183 visitors to a community health service center for physical examinations and 241 respiratory patients admitted to a hospital ward were randomly selected. The prevalence of hyperuricemia and dyslipidemic diabetics in the two groups of participants was investigated. Dietary information was collected using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. RESULTS (1) Male participants had a higher level of prevalence of hyperuricemia than female (P < 0.01). (2) Hypoglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia and excessive intake of meat, poultry, alcohol, energy and fat were risk factors of hyperuricemia (P < 0.05); whereas, moderate intake of vegetables and fruits were protective factors (P < 0.01).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Hyperuricemia is associated with glycolipid metabolism disorder and dietary factors. Early monitoring of glucose and lipid metabolism and dietary interventions in high risk population may play an important role in the prevention of hyperuricemia.
