Mean difference in serum uric acid between highest and lowest categories of food intake in the participants of AusDiab and The Tromsø Study.Estimated marginal means and 95 % CI for the difference in SUA between the highest and lowest categories of food intakes. The Tromsø Study (A) models were adjusted for age decade, BMI, eGFR, presence of hypertension, presence of diabetes, use of diuretics, use of anti-gout medication, sweat or dyspnoea-inducing physical activity of ≥1 h/week, alcohol intake >10 g/day (except for alcohol variables) and daily energy intake. The AusDiab (B) models were adjusted for age, BMI, eGFR, presence of hypertension, presence of diabetes, alcohol intake >10 g/day (except for alcohol variables), self-reported history of gout at baseline, vigorous physical activity of ≥1 h in the past week and energy intake. Least significant difference t-test was used to calculate p-values in pairwise comparisons. The intake categories compared for the Tromsø Study 4: beer: <1 vs. >5 glasses/fortnight; wine: <1 vs. >6 glasses/fortnight; spirits: <1 vs. >6 glasses/fortnight; alcohol 0 vs. >10 g/day; eggs never vs. >1/week; meat: <1 vs. >2 times/week; fish: <1 vs. >3 times/week; cereals: never vs. >1 times/week; coarse bread: <3 vs. >6 slices/day; yogurt: never vs. >3 times/week; milk: never vs. >2 glasses/day; bread with cheese: never vs. >2 slices/day; fruits: <1 vs. >4 pieces/day; for the AusDiab: beer (low and full strength): 0 vs. >2 days/week; wine: 0 vs. >2 days/week; spirits: 0 vs. >2 days/week; alcohol 0 vs. >10 g/day; eggs never vs. >2/week; meat: <1 vs. >6 times/week; fish: <1 vs. >3 times/week; cereals: never vs. >1 times/week; coarse bread: <2 vs. >4 slices/day; yogurt: never vs. >4 times/week; milk: never vs. >2 glasses/day; cheese: never vs. >4 times/week; fruits: <1 vs. >2 pieces/day.
