4. Obesity
· Being overweight increases the production of uric acid and decreases its secretion.
5. Hypertension
· High blood pressure is a major risk factor for gout. It gets complicated, though, because the diuretics taken to lower high blood pressure increase uric acid levels, so the treatment as well as the disease is associated with gout.
