Abstract
Hyperuricemia is a condition of elevated blood uric acid level above normal value. One of the risk factors that causes hyperuricemia is high purine intake. Balinese generally consume foods that contain high purine, such as pork lawar, chicken betutu and other foods that potentially increase blood uric acid level. This study aimed to assess the relation between purine intake and blood uric acid level in postmenopausal women in the working area of Puskesmas II East Denpasar. This cross-sectional study used 100 postmenopausal women as respondents. Daily purine intake were counted by semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires. The results showed that mean of purine daily intake was 408.72 ± 153.50 mg/day. The proportion of respondents who consumed purine more than 500 mg/day was 34%, intake purine less than 500 mg/day was 66%. Levels of blood uric acid in respondents were in the range of 2.6-8.4 mg/dL and the average was 5.52 ± 1.661 mg/dL. Purine intake had the strongest effect on blood uric acid level (p = 0,019; OR = 3,198; 95% CI = 1,208-8,461). It is recomended in order to prevent hyperuricemia, the community should be advised to reduce consumption of high purine foods.
