Article Synopsis
- The study investigates sex-specific risk factors for hyperuricemia and gout in Japanese individuals over a 14.6-year period.
- The research involved 3,188 men and 6,346 women, assessing the impact of factors like smoking, drinking, hypertension, and more on the incidence of these conditions.
- Findings reveal that hypertension and alcohol consumption are significant risk factors for men, while smoking is a major risk factor for women.
Objective: We aimed to longitudinally clarify the changes in cardiovascular disease risk factors associated with menopause in Japanese women in the 2000s.
Methods: Of the 4,596 women who underwent health examinations between 2007 and 2012 in three communities of the Circulatory Risk in Communities Study, 263 women who reported going through menopause during that period were included in the study. We randomly selected 1,665 men as control subjects who participated in a health examination at least once between 2001 and 2009 and at least once between 2010 and 2018 by 1:1 pair-matching for age, community, and examination year.
