Stanislav V. Kasl, PhD; George W. Brooks, MPH; Willard L. Rodgers, PhD

JAMA. 1970;213(8):1291-1299.

Abstract
The major findings in this part of the study were (1) Students who are attending college, or are definitely planning to attend, had higher uric acid levels, above and beyond the association with high school grades. (2) There was a positive association between uric acid and activities, irrespective of whether they were the recognized extracurricular activities or the informal social and dating behavior. (3) Subjects with low uric acid levels had more unrealistic vocational expectations and perceptions than did subjects with high uric acid levels. (4) Cholesterol clearly showed a different pattern of associations than did uric acid.
