Age
Gout is a form of arthritis that affects mostly men between the ages of 40 and 50.
Race
There are also different racial propensities to develop gout. Gout is high among the peoples of the Pacific Islands, and the Māori of New Zealand, but rare in the Australian aborigine despite the latter's higher mean concentration of serum uric acid.[1] In the United States, gout is twice as prevalent in African American males as it is in Caucasians.[2]
