From: The relationship between training status, blood pressure and uric acid in adults and elderly
Systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure in participants with normal uric acid (UA) values (white bars) and elevated UA values (black bars). *p<0.05 (Student’s t-test). According to American Heart Association the normal values of UA should fall between 3.0 and 7.0 mg/dL. However, according to the commercial kit used in blood analyses, the normal values should fall between 2.5 and 5.0 mg/dL. Therefore, in the present study the UA values between 2.0 – 5.0 mg/dL were considered normal values and higher than 5.0 mg/dL were considered elevated values (p<0.05).
