Objective: To evaluate the association between Abdominal Obesity (AO) and Hyperuricemia (HU) in adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (TDM2). Methods: Cross-sectional observational study in adults with TDM2 in a private clinic in Lima - Peru. We define HU as serum uric acid values greater than or equal to 6 mg/dL and AO as a waist circumference greater than or equal to 94 cm and 88 cm in men and women, respectively. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) were used by 95% confidence intervals. Results: 737 adults with TDM2 were evaluated. 61.7% were male, and the average age was 57 years. AO was present in 83.2 % and HU in 21.7%. The prevalence of HU in adults with AO was 23.1%, while the prevalence was 14.5 % in those not obese. AO was associated with HU in the crude analysis (PR: 1.59 95% CI 1.01-2.50) and remained statistically significant in the adjusted analysis (PR: 1.59 95% CI 1.04-2.41) Conclusion: Diabetic participants with AO are almost twice likely to have HU compared to patients with TDM2 without AO.
