Obese middle-aged men (over 40 years old)
Male hormones help inhibit and promote the excretion of uric acid. Obesity is the root cause of the disease. Due to eating a lot of fat, protein, and energy for a long time, the process of excreting uric acid will decrease, accumulate in the body and cause deposition, leading to degeneration of joint cartilage, damage to surrounding tissues and the formation of gout.
At the same time, this excessive accumulation in the body will form a state of hyperuricemia, which is also one of the clinical manifestations of gout.
Postmenopausal women
Estrogen in women will promote the excretion of uric acid and prevent urate deposition. At the same time, because postmenopausal women do not have the protection of estrogen, the incidence of the disease also increases significantly, so women in this period should pay more attention.
People with a family history of gout (genetic factor)
Due to genetics, the risk of certain diseases increases greatly from birth, gout is one of them. Due to metabolic problems in the body, we must pay more attention to our diet.
People with a history of hyperuricemia
Hyperuricemia is one of the clinical manifestations of gout. Therefore, this group of people is also a high-risk group.
People who eat a lot
People who eat a lot of food are often high in protein and fat, thus creating more uric acid in the body, causing gout.
