There is a relationship between gout and body weight, and being overweight or obese can increase the risk of developing gout. Gout is a metabolic disease, overweight or obesity is both a contributing factor to the development of gout and a risk factor for the onset of gout. Overweight or obese patients are more prone to gout, and the reasons for this may be related to the dietary structure of this type of patient and the reduction of renal blood flow. Patients who are overweight or obese should reduce their body weight appropriately under the guidance of physicians, develop a reasonable diet plan, consume foods with low glycemic index, such as brown rice and oatmeal, and avoid desserts, honey and other foods with high content of sucrose and fructose, and at the same time, carry out aerobic exercises such as swimming, jogging and yoga appropriately. Gout patients are advised to go to the rheumatology and immunology departments of regular hospitals for detailed consultation and standardized treatment as prescribed by doctors.
