一项关于1971-1975年痛风诊断发生率和1975年12月31日患病率的研究在一个代表性的全科医学样本中进行，该样本包括64个实践和英国总人口中1/145的人口。英国1971-1975年的年发病率为0.25-0.35/1000，1975年12月31日的总患病率为2.6/1000。英格兰的患病率明显高于大不列颠其他地区，威尔士的患病率明显高于苏格兰。在10%的病例中，痛风显然是继发性的，利尿剂诱导是最常见的原因。原发性痛风的患病率估计为2.3/1000。
A study of the incidence of gout diagnosis from 1971-1975 and the prevalence on Dec. 31, 1975 was carried out in a representative general practice sample comprising 64 practices and a population numbering 1 in 145 of the total population of Great Britain [UK]. An annual incidence in Great Britain from 1971-1975 varying from 0.25-0.35/1000 and an overall prevalence on Dec. 31, 1975 of 2.6/1000 were observed. The prevalence in England was significantly greater than in the rest of Great Britain and that in Wales was significantly greater than in Scotland. In 10% of the cases the gout was apparently secondary, with induction by diuretics being the most frequent cause. The prevalence of primary gout was estimated to be 2.3/1000.
