Inverse association between uric acid levels and muscle quality index in adults: a cross-sectional analysis of NHANES 2011–2014
Our findings demonstrate a significant inverse association between elevated serum UA levels and MQI, highlighting the potential importance of uric acid management in enhancing muscle quality among young and middle-aged adults. The consistency of this relationship across different subgroups underscores the need for targeted strategies and interventions to manage UA levels. Future research should explore longitudinal impacts and intervention outcomes to further elucidate the potential benefits of uric acid management on muscle health.
