Abstract:
Gouty arthritis in some way is characterized by a pronounced pain
syndrome, clear signs of inflammation, which leads to dysfunction of the joints and
negatively affects the quality of life. Also, a decrease in quality-of-life indicators is
facilitated by an increase in body mass index in patients with abdominal obesity and
the presence of various components of the metabolic syndrome. An increase in the
duration of the existence of individual components of the metabolic syndrome and
their progression leads to a decrease in such indicators as physical activity,
emotional state, general and psychological health. It is possible that a combination
of articular pathology and metabolic syndrome will lead to a more pronounced
decrease in the quality of life.
