What is the normal uric acid level for individuals aged 50-60

The normal range of uric acid levels for individuals aged 50-60 is 150-420 μ mol/L for males and 90-360 μ mol/L for females. The level of uric acid is influenced by factors such as diet, metabolic function, and disease, and needs to be comprehensively evaluated based on individual circumstances. Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism, mainly excreted through the kidneys. The 50-60 year old population may experience a slight increase in uric acid levels compared to younger individuals due to a gradual decrease in metabolic rate, but it still needs to be controlled within the above range. Due to differences in hormone levels, males have a higher upper limit of normal values than females. Excessive intake of high purine foods such as animal organs, seafood, and thick meat soup in daily diet may lead to short-term fluctuations in uric acid. Some individuals may have decreased renal excretion function or genetic purine metabolism abnormalities, and may also have elevated uric acid levels. Long term high uric acid may induce complications such as gouty arthritis and uric acid induced kidney stones.

It is recommended that people aged 50-60 undergo blood uric acid testing 1-2 times a year, and avoid high purine diets and vigorous exercise for the first 3 days before the test. If the result approaches the upper limit or exceeds the standard, it can be rechecked for confirmation. Daily intake of red meat and alcohol should be controlled, and drinking at least 2000 milliliters of water per day should promote excretion. Obese individuals should gradually lose weight to avoid rapid weight loss induced uric acid elevation. Patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes need to strictly monitor the level of uric acid.
