With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the dietary structure has changed greatly, making "rich diseases" "fly into" ordinary people's homes. At present, the prevalence of hyperuricemia is increasing year by year. According to the 2019 China Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Monitoring Data, the prevalence of hyperuricemia in adult residents in my country is 14.0%, and the peak age group is: male 18 to 29 years old, with a prevalence of 32.3%; female Greater than or equal to 70 years old, with a prevalence of 8.0%. From the data, it can be seen that young men and old women are at high risk of gout.

Gout is a disease caused by excessive uric acid in the blood, which leads to the formation of sodium urate crystals in the joints, causing joint inflammation and pain. Acute attacks of gout often occur at night, with rapid onset, gradually increasing pain, and reaching a peak in about 12 hours. Gout is also known as the "immortal cancer". Although this disease is not life-threatening, it is very painful.

Clinical investigations have found that the male-to-female ratio of patients with high uric acid and gout is about 15:1. This is due to the natural physiological characteristics of men, which leads to much higher androgens in the body than women. Androgens promote the reabsorption of uric acid in the kidneys, inhibit the excretion of uric acid, and induce inflammatory reactions in cell membranes; estrogen, on the contrary, promotes the excretion of uric acid and inhibits the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints. It cannot be ignored that after menopause, women have a higher incidence of high uric acid and gout due to the decline in estrogen levels.

Why are more and more young people losing control of uric acid? Even middle school students have become a high-risk group? "Diet is one of the main reasons for increased uric acid in young people. At the same time, work pressure, staying up late, irregular lifestyle, little physical activity, lack of physical exercise, etc. are also one of the reasons for increased uric acid in young people; secondly, the occurrence of hyperuricemia in some young people is related to genetic factors, obesity and excessive dieting.
