“…The inconsistent results between this study and two other studies [ 33 , 36 ] may be related to subject selection, such as differences in age, race, inclusion criteria, and covariate adjustments. In addition, the sample size of patients with long sleep duration was relatively small in this study (n = 19) and in another study examining an elderly Mediterranean population (n = 37) [ 36 ]. Further studies with larger sample sizes are necessary to clarify the relationship between long sleep duration and uric acid levels.…”

Among several explanations that have been put forth for this nocturnal risk, one is the potential role of sleep apnea, which is common among obese men with multiple comorbidities, a typical profile of gout patients . To date, several observational studies have shown that patients with sleep apnea have a high prevalence of hyperuricemia (up to 50%) .…”

“…Cantalejo Moreira et al demonstrated that patients with gout have a trend towards severe sleep disorders compared to patients with osteoarthritis [62]. Another finding in the study performed by Cantalejo Moreira et al was that there is a greater burden of cardiovascular risk factors among patients with gout [63]. Circulating UA levels in women are clearly lower than those in men, which is putatively the result of the sex hormone in action [64].…”
