Abstract

The prevalence of gout in Japan has increased markedly since the 1960s. The westernization of the Japanese diet from 1955 is thought to be one factor the increase in the prevalence of gout. In Japan, most of gout patients are adults, and the number of gout patients are higher in men than in women. A previous report showed modification of dietary habits for the prevention of gout in Japanese people through the trends in micronutrient (vitamin and mineral) intake of Japanese people in 1946-2016. The aim of this article is to suggest what micronutrient intake is important for the prevention of gout in Japanese people in 2019 referencing the results of clinical research reported. As the previous report, the author used the data of the Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions in Japan for the number of gout patients (1986-2019) and the data of the National Health and Nutrition Survey in Japan (1946-2019) for the intake of micronutrients. Micronutrient intakes of Japanese people in 2019 was compared with those in 2016. The relationship between the number of gout patients and micronutrient intake in Japanese people was examined. The number of gout patients of Japanese people in 2019 was higher compared to that in 2016 (2016: 1.105 million; 2019: 1.254 million). The daily intake of vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin B₁, vitamin B₂, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B₆,folate, vitamin B₁₂, vitamin C, sodium, salt, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, copper, and zinc of Japanese people in 2019 were higher compared to those in 2016, respectively. Whereas the daily vitamin D intake of Japanese people in 2019 was lower compared to that in 2016. The daily intake of vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B₁, vitamin B₂, vitamin B₁₂, vitamin C, salt, calcium, iron, and copper were negatively correlated with the number of gout patients, respectively. Modification of micronutrient intake for the prevention of gout in Japanese people (especially adults) in 2019 is suggested as follows: limiting or decreasing salt intake; decreasing intake of phosphorus and copper; increase intake of vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B₁, vitamin B₆,folate, vitamin B₁₂, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc; increase intake of vitamin B₂ and vitamin C in Japanese men (aged 20-59 years) and women (aged 20-59 years).

  abstract = {The prevalence of gout in Japan has increased markedly since the 1960s. The westernization of the Japanese diet from 1955 is thought to be one factor the increase in the prevalence of gout. In Japan, most of gout patients are adults, and the number of gout patients are higher in men than in women. A previous report showed modification of dietary habits for the prevention of gout in Japanese people through the trends in micronutrient (vitamin and mineral) intake of Japanese people in 1946-2016. The aim of this article is to suggest what micronutrient intake is important for the prevention of gout in Japanese people in 2019 referencing the results of clinical research reported. As the previous report, the author used the data of the Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions in Japan for the number of gout patients (1986-2019) and the data of the National Health and Nutrition Survey in Japan (1946-2019) for the intake of micronutrients. Micronutrient intakes of Japanese people in 2019 was compared with those in 2016. The relationship between the number of gout patients and micronutrient intake in Japanese people was examined. The number of gout patients of Japanese people in 2019 was higher compared to that in 2016 (2016: 1.105 million; 2019: 1.254 million). The daily intake of vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C, sodium, salt, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, copper, and zinc of Japanese people in 2019 were higher compared to those in 2016, respectively. Whereas the daily vitamin D intake of Japanese people in 2019 was lower compared to that in 2016. The daily intake of vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, vitamin C, salt, calcium, iron, and copper were negatively correlated with the number of gout patients, respectively. Modification of micronutrient intake for the prevention of gout in Japanese people (especially adults) in 2019 is suggested as follows: limiting or decreasing salt intake; decreasing intake of phosphorus and copper; increase intake of vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc; increase intake of vitamin B2 and vitamin C in Japanese men (aged 20-59 years) and women (aged 20-59 years).},
