✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The mean serum uric acid of 71 normal adult American Samoan men was 6.8 mg%. Serum cholesterol, electrolytes, creatinine and total protein measurements were in the usual normal range and none correlated well with the serum urate. Like other Polynesian people, gout, obesity, diabetes and ischemic heart disease seem to be common among Samoans.
