Serum uric acid and body mass index to mortality in high-risk patients with established coronary artery disease
 In a a cohort study of 1202 patients with angiographic CAD from the ET-CHD registry during 1997-2003 in Taiwan. To evaluate the relation of BMI and SUA on mortality, the subjects were categorized into 4 groups by BMI≧25kg/m² (overweight or obesity) or BMI<25kg/m² (normal- or under-weight), and SUA levels higher or lower than the median of 6.6mg/dl. indicated that among patients with established CAD, SUA may be a potent predictor to mortality in overweight or obese patients. Moreover, the obesity-mortality paradox phenomenon was mainly driven by higher mortality risk in underweight patients and lower mortality risk in overweight and obese patients with low SUA(5).
