Associations between baseline cardiovascular risk parameters (A-C) and tertiles serum uric acid in GA, RA and OA. Tertiles serum uric acid (1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd): GA: <0.29 mmol/L, 0.29-0.38 mmol/L, and ≥0.39 mmol/L; RA: <0.27 mmol/L, 0.27-0.34 mmol/L, and ≥0.34 mmol/L; OA <0.27 mmol/L, 0.27-0.34 mmol/L, and ≥0.34 mmol/L. GA: gouty arthritis; RA: rheumatoid arthritis; OA: osteoarthritis; TC: total cholesterol; HDL: high density lipoprotein; BMI: body mass index. (*p < 0.05 vs. 1^st tertile; ^‡p < 0.05 vs. 2^nd tertile).
