<![CDATA[High uric acid levels are a significant health problem and are influenced by various factors. This study aims to analyze the effect of age and body weight on uric acid levels in the adult population. The research method used was a quantitative and qualitative approach with direct observation techniques and questionnaires on 30 respondents aged 18 to 60 years in Bojongsoang sub-district. Measurement of uric acid levels was carried out using the Point of care testing (POCT) method. Data analysis used a correlation test to determine the relationship between variables. The results showed no statistically significant relationship between uric acid levels and body weight (p=0.328) or age (p=0.237). Although a very weak positive trend was observed, neither increasing body weight nor increasing age proved to be the main determinant of the increase in uric acid levels in this study sample. The conclusion of this study suggests that other factors such as diet, lifestyle, gender, and genetic history have a more dominant influence on uric acid levels compared to age and body weight.]]>
