A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Survey of Serum Uric Acid Level and Associated Determinants in Freetown, Sierra Leone

2025-07-12

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Background</bold> : Sub-Saharan Africa faces a dual burden of infectious and non-communicable diseases (NCDs), yet epidemiological data on serum uric acid (SUA) and hyperuricemia remain scarce in low-income countries like Sierra Leone. Elevated SUA is linked to gout, hypertension, and metabolic disorders, but its determinants in African populations are poorly understood. <bold...
