Several recent analyses of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study report a disproportionate worsening of gout burden among women, suggesting intensive dietary measures for gout prevention are indicated, especially in women. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet lowers serum urate and is associated with a lower risk of incident gout, while the Western diet is associated with an increased risk. However, whether the dietary impact is affected by genetic risk remains unknown.

Yokose et al. investigated the potential interaction between genetic predisposition and diet on the risk of incident gout among 18,247 women from the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) over 34 years. The researchers identified 481 incident cases of self-reported gout among women without a genetic predisposition and 859 incident cases among women with a genetic predisposition in NHS. Regardless of genetic predisposition, the DASH diet was associated with a lower risk of incident gout and the Western diet was associated

with higher risk.
