Abstract: Objective To explore the correlation between serum uric acid(SUA) level and Alzheimer's disease(AD) in elderly patients. Methods 67 cases of the elders with Alzheimer's disease and 160 elders matching with age and gender were enrolled from Jan 2013 to Dec 2014 in the study,the blood levels of biochemical factors such as SUA,total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),fasting blood sugar(FBS) and creatinine(Cr) were measured by automatic biochemistry analyzer in the two groups. The related factors such as history of disease,smoking and medication history were collected. The correlation between the level of SUA and AD was analyzed. Results The serum uric acid levels in AD group were significantly lower than those in control group(P＜0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, gender, ischemic stroke were risk factors, and taking statin, SUA, and HDL-C were protective factors(P＜0.05). Spearman correlation tests indicated that there was an inverse correlation between SUA levels and AD(rs=-0.285,P<0.001). Conclusion Serum uric acid level is significantly related to AD in the elderly.SUA may be a protective factor of the occurrence of AD.
