It was found that the number of gout patients in먹튀검증 their 20s and 30s is rapidly increasing due to frequent drinking and irregular eating habits.
According to the Health Insurance Corporation on the 23rd, the number of gout patients in Korea doubled from 260,000 in 2012 to 492,000 in 2021.
Among gout patients, the proportion of patients in their 20s and 30s increased markedly. The number of patients in their 20s and 30s, which was 87,000 in 2017, increased by 44% to 124,000 in 2021.
The cause of gout is closely related to an increase in uric acid in the blood. When the level of uric acid in the blood exceeds a certain level, it is called hyperuricemia. If hyperuricemia is not treated in time, it can lead to gout nodules and rheumatoid arthritis.
Analysts say that the increase in the proportion of people in their 20s and 30s among gout patients in Korea is due to their increased meat intake and frequent drinking.
In particular, one of the reasons is that since the Corona 19 epidemic, there have been many cases of solving meals with greasy delivery food. Fatty foods such as chicken are high in purine, which exacerbates gout symptoms. Purine, a kind of protein, is contained in meat and blue-backed fish, but if purine is not metabolized in the body and remains as waste, it becomes uric acid.
Oh Seong-gyun, professor of orthopedic surgery at Wonkwang University Sanbon Hospital, said, “If gout is not properly treated in the early stages, it can worsen into nodular gout, which can cause uric acid lump nodules in various places in the body, causing multiple arthritis.” You should increase your intake and stay away from all kinds of alcohol, including chimaek (chicken + beer), and internal food (daechang, intestines, fish intestines, etc.).”
