Youth in Russia Suffering from Widespread Gout

Gout, previously considered a disease of the elderly, is rapidly becoming more common among younger people. Russia is seeing an increase in gout diagnoses among youth, including students and young professionals.

Risk Factors

• Beer consumption and modern diet
• High-protein diets
• Intense physical activity: CrossFit, sprints, weight training

The combination of these factors triggers gout symptoms in people under 30, which was previously rare.
