Has the treatment of gout got any better recently? Or would it be better to carry on with the leeches? So who gets Gout? Is there any pattern to the people who get gout?
Despite Gout being around for centuries, there hasn't been that much research on the subject. You would have thought that because it affects a large amount of people that they would have done more medical research - especially in this day and age.
Perhaps it's because the medical profession see this disease as one that comes on with age. The primary age group for getting gout is male, over 50's. In fact, many males develope the disease as young as 35.
However this disease still affects 1,000 peopl out of every 100,000. That's a pretty big amount - 3 million or so in the USA. More that that in all of Europe. And how many in China, India and Asia?
Gout is responsible for 5% of all arthritis sufferers.
Generally, people who are overweight and drink excessive alcohol, are more susceptable to Gout. Eating lots opf rich fatty "high purine" foods also makes it more likely for you to have high uric acid levels, which again can lead to gout.
This is why this disease was known for many years as the disease of kings. It used to be the situation that only royalty could afford such a lifestyle! Not so now!
Here's something that's not generally reported on the web - there is also a link between gout and sleep apnea! People who get sleep apnea are much more likely to get gout. I picked up this interesting nugut of information from the gout remedy report. It's not actually in the report, but comes as a surprize extra bit of information if you buy the report.
