This study aimed to explore the association between uric acid (UA) and blood pressure (BP), included systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP).A cross-sectional study with 22,478 individuals aged from 12 to 80 years (11,443 males and 11,035 females) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) was performed. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to explore the relationship between UA and BP, Stratified analysis and interaction were performed based on gender, race, age, body mass index (BMI), and alcohol consumption. Significantly positively associations were presented in SBP(β, 0.84 [95% CI, 0.67, 1.00]), DBP(β, 0.23 [95% CI, 0.11, 0.36]), and MAP (β, 0.43 [95% CI, 0.31, 0.55]). The associations were much more stronger between UA and SBP in females (β, 1.04 [95% CI, 0.78, 1.30], p for interaction 0.0003), black group (β, 1.17 [95% CI, 0.77, 1.56], p for interaction 0.0296), age (≥45) group (β, 1.03 [95% CI, 0.68, 1.39], p for interaction <0.0001) and drinking group (β, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.75, 1.21], p for interaction <0.0001). The significant interactions were found between UA and DBP in gender and alcohol consumption (all p for interaction <0.05). In terms of MAP, the significant interactions were found in race, age, and alcohol consumption (all p for interaction <0.05).A significantly positively association was found between UA and BP, including SBP, DBP, and MAP.
