Gout is the most common inflammatory joint disease.Recently the age of onset of gout has decreased and the prevalence of gout is rapidly increasing.Many studies have reported the risk factors associated with gout but cause of increasing young onset gout is unclear.We aimed to suppose the characteristics of young gout patients by comparing the gout patients in different age groups.Gout patients are divided into three groups according to their age at the first attack.The number of each group,young(19–44 years),middle-aged(45–64 years),old-aged(≥65 years)group was 53,64,and 76 respectively.
