APOB and gout: We also tested for a role of total circulating apo B in gout compared to HU (Table 3), observing positive association with gout (OR = 5.60 [1.73 to 18.18], P = 0.004 per μmol/L unit change) although there was no evidence for association of VLDL apo B (OR = 1.57 [0.80 to 3.09], P = 0.19 per 100 nmol/L unit change).
