Exploring the nonlinear association between serum uric acid and the TG/HDL-C Ratio: insights from school-aged children with adenoid or tonsillar hypertrophy

Our study identified a nonlinear relationship between SUA levels and the TG/HDL-C ratio in school-age children with adenoid or tonsillar hypertrophy. This nonlinear pattern persisted in sex-stratified analyses, with males exhibiting a higher SUA inflection point compared to females. These findings suggest that SUA could serve as a practical marker for early metabolic risk assessment.
