Gout is an “ancient” and “fashionable” disease, “ancient” because gout attacks have been recorded around the world as early as the 5th century BC. Gout has been a common disease in Europe and North America since ancient times, with foreign scientists such as Darwin and Newton, and it is not uncommon to see gout sufferers in China, such as the literati Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi, and Yuan Shizhu Kublai, who were all gout sufferers. This disease is the excessive intake of high protein fat formation of “rich disease”, “emperor disease”. With the development of society, the improvement of people’s living standard and the change of diet structure, the incidence of gout has been increasing significantly since the 1980s. At present, gout and hyperuricemia are no longer the patent of the rich, but have become a modern “fashionable” disease, the incidence of which is rising steeply and remains high. Gout can occur at any age, but is most common in young and middle-aged men. Especially nowadays, people live and work at a fast pace, often eat out or order take-out, like hot pot, like seafood, like drinking beer, like drinks, like sweets, etc. They are the main group of people with gout. What cannot be ignored is that with the increase of protein and calories in the diet of children and adolescents and the decrease of physical exercise, the number of little fat dunks and little fat girls is increasing year by year, and the incidence of gout among adolescents is also increasing. Gout triggers red, swollen and hot pain in joints all over the body, especially in ankle, heel, knee, epiglottis, finger and elbow joints, and how to prevent and treat gout has become an important research topic in the medical field. The formation of gout is most closely related to the lifestyle of eating and drinking, so it belongs to the lifestyle disease, which is a typical disease of “disease from the mouth”. Gout has become the second largest metabolic disease in China after diabetes, devouring people’s health indiscriminately. So, is it true that as long as you can eat and drink, you will get gout sooner or later? The answer from medical experts is no, gout is not a “disease” that every successful person and every young person must suffer from. How to turn the danger into success requires each of us to know and understand gout correctly, be familiar with preventive measures for gout, master scientific methods of care, adhere to a healthy lifestyle, and actively prevent or treat gout and its complications and comorbidities. The World Health Organization has put forward a slogan: “Never die of ignorance.” Traditional Chinese medicine has always advocated that “the upper workforce treats the untreated disease”, “upper workforce” refers to medical personnel, and “untreated disease” refers to diseases that have not yet developed or have just sprung up. The actual “cure for the untreated” is to adhere to the principle of prevention-based health care, the way of health care, pay attention to the details of life, and actively seek the correct prevention and treatment of disease, in order to avoid and eliminate the occurrence of this disease.
