Osteoporosis remains a major public health issue, particularly affecting the elderly, and is characterized by decreased bone mass and deterioration of bone structure, increasing the risk of severe fractures. The development of specific and precise tools that allow for the identification and estimation of the influence of modifiable factors on the development of osteoporosis is an important step in early intervention for at-risk individuals
The incidence and prevalence of gout have increased worldwide in recent decades. Scientists at the Rochester Epidemiology Project (MN, USA) have seen a two-fold increase in the incidence of primary gout (patients without diuretic exposure) over a 20-year period, which ended in 1996. The increase of incidence may be related due to the difficulty and often unsatisfactory treatment options. The aim of the study was to systematize the recommendations on dietary treatment, and medication for patients with gout.
