Abstract
In view of the high frequency of gouty arthritis reported in Filipinos, a population of normal Filipino males and an age‐matched group of Caucasian males were examined. The mean serum uric acid value (with standard deviation) was found to be 6.3 ± 1.4 mg. per 100 ml. for Filipinos and 5.0 ± 1.1 mg. per 100 ml. for Caucasians, using the uricaseultraviolet spectrophotometric method of Praetorius. The serum uric acid frequency distribution curve was found to be symmetrical for the Caucasians and skewed to high values for the Filipinos.Keywords
