Gout, a disease that once plagued Victorian Britain, has reemerged in the modern era, affecting a significant number of people in the United Kingdom. This condition, often associated with the past, has seen a resurgence, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to NHS Inform, a Scotland-based national health information service, in the UK, gout is thought to affect one to two out of every 100 individuals. Men over 30 and women after menopause are the groups most affected by the illness.
