Asymptomatic hyperuricemia is known as one of the cardiovascular risk factors. This study investigated the association between NC and asymptomatic hyperuricemia among the general population of Korea. Methods: This cross-sectional study examined data from 7,629 participants in the 2019–2020 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with hyperuricemia. Results: Approximately 10% of participants corresponded to hyperuricemia group who were likely to be male, have more comorbidities, poorer habits, and larger NC. Multivariable regression analysis revealed that NC was significantly associated with hyperuricemia in women (OR 1.17; 95% CI 1.06-1.30), but not in men (OR 1.04; 95% CI 0.96-1.12). Conclusion: A large NC is independently correlated with hyperuricemia among Korean women.   Methods: This cross-sectional study examined data from 7,629 participants in the 2019–2020 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
