Abstract
In 381 children serum uric acid levels were measured at the age of 11.4 and 14.3. Numerous other parameters were also measured (as the erythrocytes, MCV, MCH, MCHC, tryglicerides, cholesterol etc) but only the relation among uric acid levels and body weight was analysed. The relation of these parameters and the data we have got in our previous work (in first grade elementary school children aged 6.4 years) is also discussed. We found significant increase of uric acid levels in boys aged 14.4 and an association between the serum uric acid levels and the body weight appears in both sexes at this age (r=0.35). (Opposite to the lack of this association in younger children, aged 6.4, and 11.4).
