This link also showed by previous research, the findings were restricted to one study of men at high risk of heart disease and stroke. The researchers wanted to know further about risk in women.
For the study, the research team searched the Health Improvement Network (THIN).
An electronic database of health records of almost 7.5 million patients registered with 477 general practices across the United Kingdom.
An electronic database of health records of almost 7.5 million patients registered with 477 general practices across the United Kingdom.
They included adults who were at least 20 years old, and whose details had been entered into the database for at least a year. The study period ran from Jan.1995 to May 2010.
Each of the 35,339 cases of newly diagnosed gout was compared with up to five people who did not have gout, but who had been enrolled into the database at the same time, adding up to 137,056 in total.
People who in the comparison group were of the same gender, age, and weight (BMI) as obesity is a strong risk factor for both gout and type 2 diabetes.
The THIN database also included information on other influential risk factors, such as alcohol consumption, smoking, GP visits, plus other underlying health problems and their treatment.
According to new case rate for diabetes was significantly higher among people with gout (9.6/1000 person years) than it was among the comparison group (6.7/1000 patient years).
There are low risk of diabetes in men,than women a higher case rate for diabetes: 10.1/1000 person years compared with 9.5/1000 person years. And this difference was evident across all age groups. This compares with equivalent figures of 5.6 for women and 7.2 for men per 1000 person years for the comparison group.
No conclusion drawn from study about cause and effect but it is close observation which shows link between diabetes and Gout.
