Let me tell you a true clinical story so you understand if it's normal to get gout at 30.

About a year ago I was limping out of the clinic when a kid walked in, chubby, 140+ pounds I think by eyeball. I took one look at the computer and sorted through the registrations.This child is 9 years old.。
The child's parents said that this child's big toe started hurting after he twisted it. When I examined the child, I noticed that the child's big toe was particularly swollen, much more so than the picture above. At the time, it didn't look like swelling from a sprain by any stretch of the imagination.

In the middle of a consultation with a childI could smell a strong odor of hot pot throughout the clinic.At that time, I thought it couldn't be gout. This child is only 9 years old, so I asked the parents of this child.I said do you guys eat hot pot often or do you own a hot pot restaurant?

The answer was exactly what I guessed, this kid's parents own a hot pot restaurant, and their family eats hot pot almost every day, especially with ingredients like offal that are feared to go bad the next day, which this kid eats every day.I rushed to check a uric acid value for my child at the time and I have been shocked ......800umol/l。

I rushed to contact the child to be hospitalized in the rheumatology department, and this was the youngest case of gout I had ever experienced.So is 30 years old considered young for gout? It definitely counts, but it's definitely not the youngest.

I'm sure every doctor in the clinic feels this way.Now not only the cervical spondylosis lumbar spondylosis such as the strain of the disease began to significantly younger, but also like gout, diabetes, these internal diseases are also clearly showing a trend of youthfulness。

Analyzing the causes

Nowadays, our living conditions are basically better. In the past, diseases like diabetic gout were less prevalent.In the 1980s the prevalence of diabetes was less than 1%. Now it is around 10 per cent.

With our material affluence.The change of diet structure has led to the emergence of a large number of gout and diabetics. Eating a lot of meat, hot pot, drinking carbonated drinks as well as beer and other high-purine foods, and eating take-out for a long time and other such high oil, salt and sugar foods, surely there is a very big impact on the body as well.

Also nowadays our work environment is changing significantly, with the extensive use of computers and some other tasks, which have simplified our workflow, but also made our activity time significantly less.A sedentary lifestyle can easily lead to a variety of chronic diseases.。

Also why do things like cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, with these medical conditions tend to get younger and younger?My personal understanding is that young people nowadays lack exercise and are tied to their beds or computer desks by cell phones and computers for long periods of time... The affluence of our living environment has led to a change in the structure of our diet, and a sedentary and inactive lifestyle promotes the development of our chronic diseases.

How to prevent gout

Although gout is a rheumatic disease, many people are also at risk for flare-ups due to genetic factors. But the disease can also be prevented to the best of your ability.

First, eat fewer foods high in purinesThe most important thing to remember is that you should know what foods are high in purines. I believe that a little bit of medical knowledge of people know what high purine food, such as seafood, beer, animal offal, hot pot these long time shabu-shabu food, but many people do not know, a large number of drinking carbonated beverages can also trigger gout attacks.

Second, drink plenty of water. Modern people's habit of drinking water is getting worse and worse, many people are busy all day but do not replenish water, which is a very bad habit. Drinking more warm water or light tea can not only excrete the uric acid metabolized by our body, but also excrete other magazines caused by metabolism every day, and drinking more water will also prevent the occurrence of urinary tract stones.

Here I want to mention to you about coffee drinking, now many people are used to using coffee, a small amount of coffee will not induce the occurrence of high uric acid, but if a large number of drinking more than 5 to 6 cups per day, for the metabolism of uric acid is affected.

Third, rejecting a sedentary lifestyle with little movement. Exercise is good medicine. The role of exercise in maintaining the health of our bodies is very significant, and there is now clear research to show thatExercise, especially the swinging type, reduces all-cause mortality by about 47%.

Fourth, weight.. Fatness is the source of many diseases. Excessive weight will definitely affect all aspects of our body's functioning.

Gout has a variety of causes, but it can be prevented, and don't be afraid to get gout, it can be controlled too!。

Hello, I'm Dr. Yang, and I'll answer this user's question.

Getting gout at 30 is a common thing. I've had several of my fellow Duet users write to me privately before that their children had gout when they were only teenagers, so it's clear that gout can happen at any age.

First of all, gout is due to purine metabolism disorders leading to abnormal uric acid, so that uric acid deposition in the joints localized to form urate crystals, which induces local inflammation, causing tissue destruction, and triggering pain. So.The development of gout is closely related to abnormalities in uric acid.

Although the older you get, the more likely you are to develop abnormal uric acid, which can trigger gout, it's not just age-related.

The first is the genetic factor. If one's parents or siblings have had gout, one's likelihood of developing gout is also higher than the average person, and in the case of men, the probability of occurrence is even higher.

The second is the presence of an unhealthy lifestyle. The risk of gout can also be increased if you eat too much high-purine food (seafood, animal offal, thick broths, etc.), lack of exercise, and being overweight on a daily basis.

Finally the presence of other risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as having diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and other conditions can also lead to elevated uric acid, which is likewise more likely to trigger gout.

So.To prevent elevated uric acid and gout, the sooner you engage in a healthy lifestyle, the sooner you'll benefit, usually pay attention to a balanced diet, meat in moderation, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink more water, quit smoking and restrict diet, moderate exercise, maintain a healthy weight and so on. In addition, if in the use of some easy to cause uric acid elevation of drugs, such as thiazide diuretics, small-dose aspirin, etc., should also pay attention to the prevention of uric acid elevation.

If you already have elevated uric acid, you need to be evaluated by your doctor whether to use uric acid-lowering drugs. For patients with high uric acid who have had gout, as long as the uric acid is elevated, uric acid-lowering medication should be added to uric acid-lowering treatment on the basis of a healthy life, generally down to less than 360 μmol/L, and if there is a history of multiple gouty episodes or multiple joints involved, it needs to be lowered to less than 300 μmol/L. If gout has not occurred,, a comprehensive assessment is required to determine whether or not uric acid-lowering medication should be administered If gout has not occurred, the need for uric acid medication will need to be evaluated in a comprehensive manner.

Well, that's all for today. I'm Dr. Yang, a general practitioner who focuses on blood pressure, blood glucose, lipids, and uric acid management. If you think I've done a good job, just give me a like~ If you have any questions, you can leave a comment below. Follow me to learn more about health.

Hello, I am glad to be able to answer your question and I hope that my answer will help you to recognize the gout disease!

Is gout normal for a 30 year old?

First of all the answer is yes, this is normal.

In people's impression, gout seems to be an exclusive disease for the elderly, in fact, this is a big misunderstanding. Nowadays, more and more young people also get gout.

Is it related to material standard of living? Of course it's relevant.

Listen to my little analysis!

Why the gout?

In fact, it is a large amount of deposition of uric acid in the body can not be discharged from the body, especially deposited in the bone joints, some easy to move the joints. Uric acid deposition, a large number of white blood cells over the resistance, it will produce inflammation, manifested as pain, redness and swelling. In severe cases, it is impossible to walk, and even the formation of gout stones.

So how does uric acid come about? It is caused by abnormal metabolism of a substance called "purine". Purines come from both inside and outside the body. Ingested purines, such as meat, seafood, beer, coffee, etc., have a high purine content. Therefore, gout patients should eat less of all these kinds of food.

The age of 30 years old, officially love to play and eat age. If the purine metabolism itself is abnormal, but can not control their mouths, always love to eat late-night snacks love to drink beer seafood, then the probability of high uric acid is still very high, so there is a high risk of high uric acid years ago, but also to control their mouths.

Finally, I would also like to mention that the complications of gout with chronic high uric acid are also very scary, such as kidney stones and chronic renal failure, which may lead to uremia!

If you don't know how to control the intake of high purine food in your diet, it is very normal to get gout at the age of 30. Due to the improvement of the material life of modern people, the diet has also increased the great risk factors, when continuity in the pursuit of a large number of seafood, high protein, alcohol, etc. in the diet, the symptoms of gout, especially the pain in the joints.

I'm @DrChanChou and I'm here to answer your question.

There's a trend of younger and younger people being detected with gout these days. Two figures tell us that this is not a delusion: in 2017, there were already 170 million people with hyperuricemia and 80 million with gout in China; and in a 2013 survey, the proportion of young and middle-aged patients with gout reached 52%, which is more than that of middle-aged and elderly patients.

Another famous young gout sufferer is Guo Qilin, who was born in 96 and is less than 30 years old. He is also an old gout sufferer and had a gout attack on a variety show that hurt so much that he couldn't even open his eyes.

Why is gout becoming more and more popular among young people?

1. Meat is usually the mainstay of the diet

In modern times, the younger generation has grown up with a good supply of meat, even some meals and meals of meat.

When meat is eaten in excess, the high purine in it will be converted into uric acid in large quantities, and our body cannot metabolize it quickly enough, leading to hyperuricemia and inducing gout.

2. Disordered work and rest, staying up too late

Nowadays, there are really too many people who like to stay up late to brush up on their dramas and play with their cell phones, deviating from the sunrise and sunset that nature teaches us, and the disruption of circadian rhythms will also disrupt our endocrine system, causing metabolic abnormalities in the body and inducing a variety of diseases, including gout.

3. Too much mental stress

High stress levels can put the body in a state of stress for a long period of time, adrenaline secretion will increase and the renal blood vessels will constrict, which can cause a decrease in uric acid excretion, laying a hidden danger for gout.

4. Too many sweet drinks

Sweetened drinks contain a lot of fructose, and fructose is also a food component that can induce gout in addition to purines, in sweetened drinks contain a variety of fructose. The consequence of drinking too many sweet drinks is elevated uric acid and gout.

5. Sedentary

Low-energy state lasts too long, including sedentary, lying in bed and brushing the phone, this low-energy state will make the body's metabolism slow down, not conducive to the excretion of wastes, can cause the accumulation of uric acid and induced gout.

This is not a normal or abnormal problem anymore, but a very common one. Hyperuricemia is now the fourth highest after hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia, and it is very common in the young population. In and out of the clinic to meet young gout patients to the clinic, and 9 out of 10 are fat, why, because 80% of the uric acid is synthesized and metabolized by its own nucleic acids, the remaining 20% from dietary intake, so do not lose weight, do not control weight can not control the uric acid, those who want to simply through the medication without losing weight, want to reduce uric acid levels, do not dream. After you get gout, change your diet, reduce the intake of high purine foods, increase exercise, drink a lot of water, and work with your medication to slowly bring down your uric acid. Remember, if you want to go fast, you can't go fast, don't be in a hurry, gout is not caused in a day, so lowering uric acid levels can't be achieved quickly. Some people may say, didn't I get my uric acid down quickly through medication? I would like to say, what you see is only the appearance, if you stop the drug will quickly rebound, and cause uric acid sharp reduction will trigger gout attacks! I hope that you must pay attention to this problem, and slowly bring down the uric acid to avoid gout attacks, as well as to avoid gouty nephropathy.

It is not uncommon to get gout at this age. Gout clinically manifested as elevated blood uric acid, the original we say three high, blood sugar blood pressure blood fat, now say four high, more a uric acid, which are metabolic diseases, and poor lifestyle has a great relationship.

Gout at 30 years old is very normal, with the improvement of living standards, now young people's lifestyles have changed, young people are more and more like to eat big fish and meat, seafood, like to drink alcohol, but also do not love sports. And obese people are also more and more. There are also more and more complications of other diseases. The reason for the rejuvenation of gout.

Normal living conditions are good, eat irregularly, eat and drink, and often stay up late, caused by, suffer ah, pain to death, I 28 have gout, now using western medicine to control uric acid, febuxostat, India's cheaper, domestic too expensive, can not afford to eat, I hope that the gout of the patients, will be well, nothing to drink more water, weight control, morning exercise exercise, eat less fat meat, and seafood, animal offal, eat more green vegetables and fruits, control the uric acid, regular checks during the use of medication, liver and kidney function, usually will not have an attack, the liver and kidney function. Eat more vegetables and fruits, control uric acid, regular checkups during the medication period, liver function and kidney function, generally will not develop.

I was 30 years old and got gout at first I didn't believe I could have gout I went to several hospitals and was diagnosed with gout I couldn't believe that gout would find me The pain felt like a knife was scraping my bones especially at night the most sad and desperate feelings no one understands It was my fault for not paying attention to my lifestyle habits overeating and staying up all night and drinking alcohol and I have never gone to the medical checkups to check up on my own body resulting in what is now a puri High food and alcohol can not eat, watching people and drink beer jerking really envy at the same time also worry about them sooner or later gout will come to them. Now I really advise everyone to correct their habits, not to stay up late, pay attention to a healthy diet, do not be like me every day to take uric acid medicine and hurt the body and can not eat anything, the old even more troublesome Hey do not say that I go to drink water every day 2500 ml of water to drink.
