Who Does Gout Affect?
Gout affects mostly men, starting in their 30s, and the risk increases with age. It is less common in women until they reach menopause. Gout is often associated with other medical conditions such as kidney disease, high blood pressure, obesity and heart disease. Often, patients have family members affected by gout. Diets rich in meat, seafood, and alcohol also predispose a person to gout.
