Sumario: | The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) activity and a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a general Japanese population. The Iwate Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization pooled individual participant data from a general population-based cohort study in Iwate prefecture. The cardiovascular risk was calculated using the Framingham Risk Score (FRS). A total of 1605 of the 1631 participants (98.4%) had detectable XOR activity. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that XOR activity was independently associated with body mass index (β = 0.26, p < 0.001), diabetes (β = 0.09, p < 0.001), dyslipidemia (β = 0.08, p = 0.001), and uric acid (β = 0.13, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that the highest quartile of XOR activity was associated with a high risk for CVD (FRS ≥ 15) after adjustment for baseline characteristics (OR 2.93, 95% CI 1.16–7.40). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves of the FRS with XOR activity was 0.81 (p = 0.008). XOR activity is associated with a high risk for CVD, suggesting that high XOR activity may indicate cardiovascular risk in a general Japanese population. |
