These analyses revealed SUA levels to be independently positively associated with BMD in OP patients, with an additional non-linear relationship between these two variables being evident for individuals of normal or low body weight. This suggests that SUA levels may exert a protective effect on BMD at concentrations below 296 μmol/L in normal- and low-weight OP patients, whereas SUA levels above this concentration were unrelated to BMD.
