Abstract Many studies have shown that uric acid was related to hypertension. However, the association dependence on body mass index (BMI) or age was unclear. This study was performed with a group of 4012 Chinese population aged 30 to 92 years old. Subjects were divided into four groups according to the quartiles of uric acid (UA) concentration [First group: ≤ 231 μmol/L (reference), Second group: 231-289 μmol/L, Third group: 289-362 μmol/L, Fourth group: > 362 μmol/L]. Hypertension was defined as newly measured blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg or taking antihypertensive drugs. Stratified analysis based on BMI (
