| Abstract | Objective: Obesity has become a global health issue and a risk factor for hyperuricemia. However, the associations between obesity and hyperuricemia are sometimes confounding. In the present study, we performed mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to study their relationship and investigate the underlying mechanism by network pharmacology. Method: Body mass index (BMI) and uric acid related to single nucleotide polymorphism were selected as instrumental variables for MR analysis. Three robust analytical methods are used for bidirectional MR analysis such as inverse-variance weighting, weighted median and MR-Egger regression. Then, we further performed sensitivity analysis to evaluate the horizontal pleiotropy, heterogeneities, and stability. The targets related to obesity and hyperuricemia were collected, screened and further conducted for Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment to explore the mechanism of obesity and hyperuricemia using network pharmacology. Results: The positive causality was indicated between BMI and hyperuricemia based on inverse variance-weighted analysis [odds ratio:1.23, 95% confidence interval: 1.11 to 1.30 for each standard deviation increase in BMI (4.6 kg/m Conclusions: Our MR analysis supported the causal association between obesity and hyperuricemia based on availablegenome-wide association analysis summary statistics.
