Mean difference in serum uric acid between highest and lowest quartiles of nutrient intake in the participants of AusDiab and The Tromsø Study.Estimated marginal means and 95 % Confidence intervals for the difference in serum uric acid between the highest (Q4) and lowest (Q1) quartiles of nutrient intakes. The Tromsø Study (A) models were adjusted for age decade, BMI (continuous), eGFR (CKD-EPI, continuous), presence of hypertension, presence of diabetes, alcohol intake above 10 g/day, use of diuretics, use of anti-gout medication, sweat or dyspnoea-inducing physical activity of 1 h and more per week and daily energy intake (kj/day, continuous). The AusDiab (B) models were adjusted for age (continuous), BMI (continuous), eGFR (CKD-EPI, continuous), presence of hypertension, presence of diabetes, alcohol intake above 10 g/day, self-reported history of gout at baseline, 1 h or more of vigorous physical activity in the past week and daily energy intake (kj/day, continuous). Least significant difference ttest was used to calculate p-values in pairwise comparisons.
