Objective: To compare serum uric acid concentrations, pain and well-being in patients having chronic musculoskeletal pain with and without MetS, and investigate cut-off values.
Methods: Patients having chronic musculoskeletal pain with (MetS group, n=48) and without MetS (control group, n=52) were included. The serum uric acid concentration, pain intensity, body composition, physical activity level, quality of life, and psychological status were evaluated by a uric acid blood test, Visual Analogue Scale, Bio-impedance Analyzer, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-7 (IPAQ-7), Nottingham Health Profile, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, respectively.
Results: Uric acid level, fat mass, waist/hip ratio were found higher in the MetS group in comparison to the control group (P<0.05). It was seen that patients in the MetS group had lower physical activity levels than those in the control group (P<0.05). The cut-off points of the uric acid level, fat mass, waist/hip ratio, and physical activity level for detecting MetS were found as 5.25 mg/dl, 37.50 kg, 0.91, and 247.25 METsminutes/week, respectively.
Conclusion: Patients with MetS had a greater uric acid level, fat mass, waist/hip ratio, and a lower physical activity level than those without MetS. The increase of uric acid level, fat mass, and waist/hip ratio, and the decrease of physical activity may be critical for patients having musculoskeletal pain with MetS. These results should be considered for the management of these patients.
