Research topics from publications: Association of Serum Uric Acid Level With Bone Mineral Density and the Risk of Osteoporosis: A Dose–Response Meta‐Analysis. Representative work: OBJECTIVE: Serum uric acid (SUA) may play positive roles in diseases associated with oxidative stress, such as osteoporosis (OP). Nevertheless, the specific impact of SUA levels on both bone mineral density (BMD) and the risk of OP remains uncertain. Considering such information crucial for clinicians when making decisions about urate-lowering therapy (ULT), we sought to fill this gap by conducting dose-response meta-analyses. METHODS: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched for studies that met the inclusion criteria. Pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) for BMDs and the odds ratio (OR) for OP between the highest and lowest SUA categories as well as the nonlinear dose-respon
