The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of hyperuricemia among the personnel of the industrial slaughterhouse in the province of Ituri and identify the socio-demographic profile most affected by high levels of uric acid among the personnel of the industrial slaughterhouse in Ituri Province. We conducted a cross-sectional study using a convenience sampling method on blood samples from 50 staff members of the industrial slaughterhouse in the town of Bunia, Ituri province. After analysis, our study results show that 40.0% of the participants have a uric acid level exceeding 7.7mg/dl. Among these participants, 87.5% are aged 62 or older, 42.9% are male, 33.3% are university educated, 35.7% have worked for 0-20 years, and 11-19 years, respectively, and 34.8% come from the Bankoko neighborhood. In summary, a high prevalence of hyperuricemia had been observed among the employees of the industrial slaughterhouse located in Ituri Province, Bunia, reaching up to 40%. Considering these results, we recommend limiting the consumption of red meat, adopting a low-protein diet, and closely monitoring cardiovascular risk factors.
