Abstract
Aims: Gout is associated with a significant burden of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a favorable lifestyle on incident cardiovascular events in patients with gout.
Methods: We identified 9 110 patients with gout from the UK Biobank cohort based on self-report and/or hospital diagnostic codes. Lifestyle behaviors, including smoking status, physical activity, obesity, and diet, were categorized into three patterns: favorable (3-4 healthy factors), intermediate (2 healthy factors), and unfavorable (0-1 healthy factor). The cardiovascular risk of participants with and without gout was estimated based on their serum uric acid levels and lifestyle patterns.
Results: Among 9 110 patients with gout and 457 596 participants without gout, the median follow-up duration was 8.9 years. The incidence rate of cardiovascular disease was significantly higher in the gout population than in the non-gout population (11.38 vs 5.49 per 1000 person-years). The gout population consistently exhibited a high cardiovascular risk, irrespective of uric acid levels, whereas a positive correlation was observed between uric acid levels and cardiovascular risk in the non-gout population. Adopting a favorable lifestyle pattern was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease in both gout and non-gout populations. Across all categories of uric acid, a favorable lifestyle was found to reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with gout.
Conclusion: Patients with gout remain at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease despite having normal uric acid levels. Lifestyle modifications may represent an effective and cost-efficient therapeutic approach for preventing cardiovascular events in this population.
期刊介绍：
European Heart Journal - Quality of Care & Clinical Outcomes is an English language, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing cardiovascular outcomes research. It serves as an official journal of the European Society of Cardiology and maintains a close alliance with the European Heart Health Institute. The journal disseminates original research and topical reviews contributed by health scientists globally, with a focus on the quality of care and its impact on cardiovascular outcomes at the hospital, national, and international levels. It provides a platform for presenting the most outstanding cardiovascular outcomes research to influence cardiovascular public health policy on a global scale. Additionally, the journal aims to motivate young investigators and foster the growth of the outcomes research community.
