Cardiovascular risk according to genetic predisposition to gout, lifestyle and metabolic health across prospective European and Korean cohorts

Recent studies have reported that gout is associated with a risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) later in life. However, the predictive value of genetic predisposition to gout combined with lifestyle habits for CVD risk remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the association between genetic predisposition to gout and lifestyle habits and the risk of developing CVD in two diverse prospective cohorts from different ancestries.
