    Hyperuricemia (HUA) prevalence among adolescents in China ranges from 10.1% to 25.4%, highlighting a significant public health issue.

  • 2

    Visceral fat area (VFA) is linked to increased uric acid levels by enhancing purine synthesis and impairing renal urate excretion.

  • 3

    Skeletal muscle mass (SMM) is generally associated with better metabolic health but may increase HUA risk under certain conditions.

  • 4

    This study aims to explore the relationships between VFA, SMM, and HUA specifically in male adolescents aged 10-20 years.

  • 5

    The study's findings could inform targeted preventive strategies for managing hyperuricemia in the adolescent population.
