Gout is associated with the metabolic syndrome.
Is it true that gout is associated with the metabolic syndrome?
Yes. Current clinical and epidemiological evidence strongly supports the association between gout, hyperuricemia, and the metabolic syndrome, noting shared pathways involving insulin resistance, obesity, and dyslipidemia.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 7 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The retrieved papers consistently link hyperuricemia and gout with components of the metabolic syndrome such as insulin resistance, obesity, and cardiovascular risk factors. Multiple studies (e.g., [7], [9], [10], [11]) directly evaluate these connections, finding robust positive correlations and shared pathophysiological mechanisms without any papers refuting the relationship.
