Description
Heeju Son and co-authors link overall diet quality to high uric acid in Korean adults. High uric acid, called hyperuricemia, raises the risk of gout and metabolic disease. Diet links were mostly studied food by food, not as a whole pattern. Data came from a national survey of 27,149 adults from 2016 to 2021, scored by a Korean healthy eating index.
Adults with top diet scores had far lower rates of high uric acid. After full checks, their odds ran about twenty-two percent below the low-score group. Breakfast, whole grains, fruit, and vegetables each tied to lower risk. Purine-rich foods tied to higher risk, as expected. One odd result linked low salt intake to higher risk, which the authors flag for study.
