The objective of this study was to delineate the association between serum uric acid (UA) levels and Muscle Quality Index (MQI), assessing muscle strength relative to mass, in adults aged 20 to 59 years. Utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014, thi...
