Menopausal transition stages were categorized into premenopause, perimenopause (5 years before and up to the menopause), and postmenopause. Longitudinal changes in SU and HU (SU \u22656.8 mg\/dL or taking medications for gout or HU) were examined by interrupted time\u2010series analyses and evaluated across stratified subgroups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We analyzed 8,169 eligible participants with 93,511 visits over a median follow\u2010up of 13.8 years. SU levels gradually increased during premenopause, rose sharply over perimenopause, and stabilized in postmenopause. Compared to premenopause, the mean SU level was 0.41 mg\/dL (95% confidence interval: 0.38\u20130.43) higher in postmenopause. HU prevalence increased from &lt;1.0% during premenopause to 4% to 5% during postmenopause.
