Abstract

There is a pooled prevalence of gout and hyperuricemia, although it varies significantly in different regions. Continuous monitoring of gout and hyperuricemia prevalence will help the government adjust its public health policy. The current analysis employed the research tabulated from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2017 to 2018 to measure the prevalence of hyperuricemia that happened through examining the updated nationally representative sample from the US. From 2017 to 2018, it shows a 5.1% of prevalence of gout within the age of 20. In the gender-based criteria for hyperuricemia, the plasma uric acid concentration above 7.0 mg/dL for males while for a female is above 5.7 mg/dL, and the frequency of hyperuricemia was 19.9%. While according to the gender-neutral criteria (i.e., serum urate level above 7.0 mg/dL, no matter which gender), the prevalence of hyperuricemia was 12.6%. The estimate suggests an obvious rise in the prevalence of gout compared to 2015-2016, but the association became nonsignificant after adjusting age, BMI, and hypertension. The burden of gout and hyperuricemia remained high and was increased in absolute numbers, indicating the need for a more proactive approach to patients with hyperuricemia and gout.
