Good News for coffee lovers, coffee consumed daily is associated with reduced risk and treatment of chronic and recurrent gout. a renowned institute proposed.

Gout mostly affects one joint, is an acute and recurrent condition of arthritis as a result of uric acid building up in the blood, inducing joint inflammation.

Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roast beans from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

According to the joint study led by Central South University, in the review literature of PubMed and EMBASE databases, up to April 2015, out of a total of 11 observational studies (6 cross-sectional, 3 cohort, and 2 case-control studies), coffee consumption showed a significant inverse association with incidence of gout.

The study also found that the efficacy of coffee consumption in reducing the risk of gout showed no significant difference between the highest and the lowest coffee intake in terms of serum uric acid (SUA) level.

Additionally, in the total of 45,869 men with no history of gout at baseline with an intake of coffee, decaffeinated coffee, tea, and total caffeine evaluated in every 4 years, participants in returned questionnaires indicated that increasing coffee intake was (1-3, 4-5, and > or = 6 cups per day) inversely associated with the risk of gout depending to numbers of cups consumed daily.

The related risk of gout incidence in coffee drinkers is as low as .41 in comparison to noncoffee-consumed participants.

Most importantly, the total caffeine levels from all sources, including coffee and tea intake showed no associated risk of gout.

Other researchers, in the finding of gout developed, suggested that coffee intake of 4 to 5 and >/=6 cups daily lower risk of gout compared to no intake (0.26 mg/dl and 0.43 mg/dl respectively) and total caffeine from coffee and other beverages and tea intake were not associated with serum uric acid levels.

Also, according to the data from 14,758 participants ages >/=20 years in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988-1994), coffee consumption is associated with ameliorated serum uric acid level and hyperuricemia frequency.

Taken together, coffee consumption is associated with attenuated risk and treatment of gout caused by elevated serum uric acid levels, depending on the number of cups taken daily.
