Fasting serum uric acid (SUA) was measured using a spectrophotometric method in 635 randomized male subjects aged 20 to 70, as part of an epidemiological study carried our among the civil employees of French origin working for the City of Montreal. It was observed that SUA was not age-dependent and that the overall mean value was 6.26 mg./100 ml. On the other hand SUA was studied in 742 males and 260 females, all of whom had had coronarography. A significant difference in SUA between males and females of 1.26 mg./100 ml. was noted. Correlating the SUA levels with the incidence of CHD or the severity of the lesions in the coronary arteries indicated no relationship between CHD and SUA concentrations in men or in women. The results of this study permit the conclusion that SUA is not a discriminator for CHD.
