BMI: body mass index; sUA: serum uric acid; CRE: creatinine; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglycerides; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; gout+CI+CHD: gout with cerebral infarction and coronary heart disease group; gout+CHD: gout with coronary heart disease group; gout+CI: gout with cerebral infarction group. Data with a normal distribution were represented as the , and data with abnormal distribution were represented as median (interquartile range). The classified variables were represented as the count and percentage. ¹Chi-squared test, ²one-way analysis of variance, and ³Kruskal-Wallis test were used for the significance of difference between three groups.
