Uric acid is a metabolic end product often linked to health issues in older men. It is the ultimate result of purine metabolism, and its levels can be influenced by dietary intake of purine- and fructose-rich foods. An excessive buildup of uric acid may lead to conditions such as hyperuricemia and gout. Compared to women, men face a higher likelihood of experiencing disturbances in uric acid metabolism, as they typically have elevated serum uric acid levels. This study aimed to outline the uric acid profile in elderly male individuals. A descriptive method with a cross-sectional design was employed, involving a total of 46 respondents. All respondents were elderly male residents of RT 02 RW 16, Cihideung Village, West Java. Of these, 14 individuals presented with elevated uric acid levels, averaging 8.57 mg/dL, with the highest measurement reaching 10.9 mg/dL. The remaining 32 participants exhibited normal uric acid levels, averaging 5.23 mg/dL. Elevated levels were observed predominantly in participants aged 45–59 years, a stage classified as pre-elderly yet still considered within the productive age group. Further investigations are recommended to explore the underlying factors affecting uric acid levels in elderly men.
