Uric Acid and Cognitive Function

Conclusions: Elevated UA is associated with neurocognitive performance in adolescent survivors. In adult survivors, relative elevation of UA during adolescence was predictive of cardiovascular health, which was associated with poorer neurocognitive outcomes.
Impact: Future studies should evaluate the mediating role of chronic cardiovascular health conditions between elevated UA and subsequent neurocognitive impairment in survivors. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 25(8); 1259–67. ©2016 AACR.
