🇺🇸 As gout is caused by a build-up of urate crystals in certain joints of the body, factors that lead to an increase in uric acid levels can put you at risk.

While uric acid levels are generally higher in men than women, after menopause, women are more prone to developing gout. Other risk factors include:

• Genetic predisposition
• Purine-rich diet
• Excessive weight
• Comorbidities (e.g. hypertension and diabetes)
• Long-term use of medication that increases uric acid levels, such as diuretics (water pills)

🇧🇷 Como a gota é causada por um acúmulo de cristais de urato em certas articulações do corpo, fatores que levam a um aumento nos níveis de ácido úrico podem colocá-lo em risco.

Embora os níveis de ácido úrico sejam geralmente mais altos nos homens do que nas mulheres, após a menopausa, as mulheres são mais propensas a desenvolver gota.

Outros fatores de risco incluem:

• Predisposição genética
• Dieta rica em purinas
• Peso excessivo
• Comorbidades (por exemplo, hipertensão e diabetes)
• Uso prolongado de medicamentos que aumentam os níveis de ácido úrico, como diuréticos (pílulas de água)

🇺🇸 Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis caused by elevated levels of uric acid in your blood. When there is too much uric acid in our blood, it can form needle-like crystals inside the linings of our joints, which is the root cause of the pain. Elevated uric acid levels can also create a type of painful kidney stone.

🇧🇷 A gota é um tipo de artrite inflamatória causada por níveis elevados de ácido úrico no sangue. Quando há muito ácido úrico no sangue, ele pode formar cristais semelhantes a agulhas dentro dos revestimentos de nossas articulações, que é a causa raiz da dor. Níveis elevados de ácido úrico também podem criar um tipo de pedra nos rins dolorosa.

🇺🇸 ✨ Gout: One Year in Review — 2025 ✨
Gout is not an “old disease” — and it’s not just about food or toe pain. In 2025, science reinforced what we now know: gout is a systemic inflammatory condition linked to heart, kidney, and metabolic health.

📌 The message is clear: Lowering uric acid protects more than joints — it protects overall health.

🇧🇷 ✨ Gota: Retrospectiva do Ano — 2025 ✨
A gota não é uma doença “antiga” — e não se resume à alimentação ou à dor no dedão do pé. Em 2025, a ciência reforçou: a gota é uma doença inflamatória sistêmica, associada à saúde cardiovascular, renal e metabólica.

📌 O recado é claro: Reduzir o ácido úrico protege muito mais do que as articulações — protege a saúde como um todo.
