Features: Since the late 20th century and early 21st century, with the improvement of people's living standards and changes in dietary structure in China, diseases that were once rare—gout—have become increasingly prevalent, now ranking among common illnesses for the general population. This book is compiled in the uniform format of the "Clothing, Food, Housing, and Transportation Health Series," divided into three parts: Basic Knowledge, Prevention of Unmanifested Illnesses, and Care and Treatment of Existing Illnesses. It comprehensively introduces readers to the fundamental knowledge of gout, diagnosis, prevention methods, and treatment principles. Particularly, it highlights the prevention and treatment knowledge embedded in daily life, or "clothing, food, housing, and transportation," making it a practical reference for gout patients and those at risk, as well as for grassroots healthcare professionals.
