痛风是一种由关节内尿酸结晶介导的炎性关节炎，通常与高尿酸血症有关。数据表明，痛风的总体疾病负担仍然很大，并可能增加。识别和表征痛风的可改变的风险因素是预防和管理这种痛苦状况的重要一步。随着更多关于痛风风险因素和合并症的科学数据的获得，将其纳入痛风预防和护理策略可能变得至关重要。本文综述了相关的流行病学资料，重点介绍了其他晶体性关节病的最新进展和资料。
Gout is an inflammatory arthritis mediated by the crystallization of uric acid within the joints and often is associated with hyperuricemia. Data suggest that the overall disease burden of gout remains substantial and may be increasing. Identifying and characterizing modifiable risk factors for gout is a major step in preventing and managing this painful condition. As more scientific data on the risk factors and comorbidities of gout become available, their integration into gout prevention and care strategies may become essential. This article reviews the relevant epidemiologic data, with a focus on recent progress and data on other crystal arthropathies.
