Who can get gout?
If you eat a lot of foods that are rich in purines, you may get gout. Some of these foods are salmon, sardines, liver and herring. You may get gout if you’re
overweight, drink alcohol, or have high cholesterol. Men have gout more often than women do. Women are more likely to have gout after menopause. Some medicines may cause gout, such as certain diuretics (water pills), niacin (a B-complex vitamin), aspirin (taken in low doses), and some drugs used to treat cancer.
