Association Between Abdominal Obesity and Hyperuricemia in Peruvian Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
In Peruvian adults with T2DM, abdominal obesity was associated with nearly double the prevalence of hyperuricemia. Because waist circumference is simple and low-cost to measure, integrating it into routine diabetes visits, along with targeted uric acid screening and management, may enhance cardiometabolic risk stratification and guide timely interventions.
