Description

Gout has often been known for its predominance among men. While it is true that risk for gout is 3 times higher among men vs women due to high uric acid levels, postmenopausal women especially form a significant percentage of a population with symptoms of unaddressed gout and a disproportionate worsening in disease burden. For Arthritis Awareness Month and ahead of Gout Awareness Day, Angelo L. Gaffo, MD, discusses the importance of addressing the prevalence and impact of gout among women and improving provider and patient education in this regard.
