Sex-specific association between serum uric acid and self-reported snoring in rural China: a cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that in rural China, SUA was positively correlated with an increased risk for self-reported snoring in females but not in males. The strong association of SUA levels with self-reported snoring in females emphasizes the necessity of stratifying the sex in investigations of self-reported snoring and encourages exploration of SUA as an effective clinical tool of self-reported snoring risk.
