Serum uric acid levels were measured in a total of 287 adults of Thai origin in Bangkok and the rural area. Mean values and range were found to exceed slightly serum uric acid concentration as reported from western countries. There was no significant difference between the Bangkok group and the group from the rural area but males and females differed significantly in their serum uric acid levels. A significant positive correlation to the ratio between weight to height as an index of the nutritional status was found.
