Cross-sectional study on the association between serum uric acid levels and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in an elderly population.

Discussion Our study demonstrates hyperuricemia as an independent risk factor for NAFLD in elderly populations (adjusted OR 2.165, 95% CI 1.277–3.669, p = 0.00413), with particularly pronounced effects in individuals with concomitant hypertriglyceridemia (TG ≥ 2.26 mmol/L: OR 7.07, 95% CI 1.72–29.18, p = 0.0002), Although the interaction P-value of 0.0857 did not reach the conventional significance threshold (p < 0.05), it was close to significance.
