    • The ancient Greek doctor Hippocrates was the first to record gout. Napoleon and Louis XIV were both patients with gout, and it was known as the "disease of emperors" in history. With the improvement of living standards and lifestyle changes, the prevalence of hyperuricemia and gout is increasing year by year. In 2018, the prevalence of hyperuricemia among adult residents in China reached 14.0%, with 24.5% among men and 3.6% among women. , the prevalence rate of young men aged 18 to 29 reached 32.3%, showing a significant younger trend. At present, the prevalence of gout in our country is about 1% to 3%, and it is increasing year by year. It is more common in men, while the symptoms would appear after menopause in women. The male-to-female ratio is 15:1, and the average age is 48.28 years old. The disease is gradually getting worse. Gout has become one of the main causes of inflammatory arthritis in rheumatology.
