Abstract Objective As heritability of hyperuricemia remains largely unexplained, we analyzed the association between parental and offspring hyperuricemia at the phenotype level. Methods This cross-sectional study included data on 2373 offspring and both-parent pairs from the 7th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Logistic regression and generalized estimating equation analysis were used to evaluate the association between offspring and parental hyperuricemia adjusting for metabolic risk factors and alcohol intake. Results Both maternal and paternal hyperuricemia were associated with offspring hyperuricemia among teenagers, but from age of 20 years, a strong association was observed between offspring and paternal, rather than, maternal hyperuricemia, and this could not be explained by metabolic risk factors such as obesity. However, there was positive interaction between offspring alcohol intake and parental hyperuricemia, and there was a stronger association between terciles of offspring alcohol intake and hyperuricemia in the presence of parental hyperuricemia: T1 (reference), T2 OR 1.1 (0.3–4.6), and T3 OR 3.3 (1.4–7.9) (P for trend 0.017) vs. T1 (reference), T2 OR 0.7 (0.3–1.9), and T3 OR 1.1 (0.6–2.2) (P for trend 0.974). Conclusion These results suggest gene-environment interaction, especially with respect to alcohol intake for hyperuricemia in Korean adults.

ObjectiveTo explore the association between age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and arthritis in a representative sample of the US population.DesignPopulation-based, cross-sectional study.SettingThe National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005–2008.ParticipantsA total of 4813 participants aged 40 years and older with available information on AMD and arthritis in the 2005–2008 NHANES.MethodsThe status and types of arthritis were obtained from questionnaires. Non-mydriatic fundus photographs were collected. The types of AMD were assessed using the modified Wisconsin Age-Related Maculopathy Grading Classification Scheme. The association between arthritis and AMD was evaluated using logistic regression models.ResultsAfter adjusting for covariates, participants with any or early AMD had significantly lower odds of having any type of arthritis (any AMD: OR=0.56, 95% CI: 0.36–0.86; early AMD: OR=0.55, 95% CI: 0.34–0.88) or osteoarthritis (OA) (any AMD: OR=0.43, 95% CI: 0.26–0.71; early AMD: OR=0.44, 95% CI: 0.25–0.76) compared with those without AMD. When considering AMD as the outcome, significant negative associations were also found between any arthritis or OA and any (any arthritis: OR=0.64, 95% CI: 0.43–0.94; OA: OR=0.52, 95% CI: 0.33–0.82) or early AMD (any arthritis: OR=0.61, 95% CI: 0.40–0.93; OA: OR=0.51, 95% CI: 0.31–0.86) in the multivariable logistic models. There was no significant association between different types of arthritis and late AMD.ConclusionsPeople with arthritis, especially those with OA, were less likely to have AMD compared with those without arthritis and vice versa. Further studies are needed to confirm this potential protective effect of arthritis and/or arthritis treatment on AMD and to explore the underlying mechanisms.
