Obesity or Excess BodyWeight

A person with obesity and excess body fat has a greater chance of developing gout at some point in his life. As with excess body fat, the body begins to produce more uric acid, and the kidneys have difficulty eliminating it. Additionally, excess body weight contributes to renal blood circulation, resulting in hypertension and ultimately gout.
