Abstract

Once known as the disease of the ruling elite, gout's prevalencehas now reached epidemic proportions, and for this, researchers say, obesity is to blame. Obesity, Body Mass Index and visceral fat have a liner correlation with serum uric acid increase and can influence the age of gout development. A reduce of selected high-calorie foods and specific lifestyle changes can optimize not only gout symptoms, but most importantly can prevent its manifestation at first place. This Mini-Review states the arguments supporting this hypothesis and suggests that the metabolic nature of the disease should be in more consideration.
