“…http://doi.org/10.33091/amj.2022.174527 To overcome this challenge, effective education about hyperuricemia and gout regarding etiology, predisposing, and lifestyle factors as well as management is needed and this fact is supported by many studies in the literature. Our findings were comparable with the study by Atalla et al [13] who reported that male subjects and those who have had a high level of education, and those with good income were had sufficient knowledge.…”

“…Other epidemiologic studies have reported that there was a relationship between some types of food and uric acid levels, specifically red meat and seafood consumption [10,17]. In this current study, 65.5% of the participants had had information that red meat and seafood consumption in high amounts may lead to increasing gout attacks, which was approximate to the results of a recent study [13]. On the other hand, the intake of low-fat diets, coffee, and vitamin C are associated with lower serum urate levels and in reduction of gout development.…”

Background: Gout is the most common type of inflammatory arthritis in men and postmenopausal women. The incidence and prevalence of hyperuricemia and gout were increased all over the world even among developed countries. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Rheumatology Unit of Baghdad Teaching Hospital in Medical City, Baghdad, Iraq from October 2020 to April 2021. A total of 247 subjects were included in the study. Data were collected using a pre-constructed data collection sheet by face-to-face individual interviews. The sheet includes demographic characteristics, gout-related questions regarding the etiology, suspected predisposing agents, complications, diagnostic methods, food-related, clinical manifestations among studied cases, and attitudes of the gout patients among the study sample. Results: Of 247 subjects, there were 67.2% (n = 166) males, 27.9 (n = 69) from the age group 40-49 years, 36.4% (n = 90) from Baghdad city, 25.5% (n = 63) university graduates, 19.9% with good income, 70.5 (174) employed, 221 (89.5%) married, 85% (n = 210) non-smokers, and 8.9% (n = 22) with family history of gout. Overall, 59 (23.9%) of the participants had a high level of awareness whereas low awareness levels accounted for 41.3% (n = 102). The awareness level showed a statistically significant association with education level, occupation, economic status, smoking habit, family history of gout, and patients with gout (P-value < 0.05). Conclusion: There was a high proportion (41.3%) of the participants with a low level of awareness about gout and hyperuricemia. The awareness level among the participants was related to the education level, occupation, economic status, smoking habit, family history of gout, and patients with gout.

Background Rheumatic diseases are the diseases of the connective tissue and medical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, with pain and/or stiffness as main manifestations, and which may or may not be accompanied by other organ system involvement. Public and patient’s awareness is needed as the number of patients of various forms of arthritis and other musculoskeletal diseases is constantly on rise. Objective The aim of our multicenter study is to evaluate awareness, knowledge, and attitude of general populations regarding common rheumatic diseases in Egypt. Subjects and methods This was a multicenter study included 3000 subjects from 4 Egyptian governorates (750 subjects from each): Lower Egypt: Dakahlia and Damietta and Upper Egypt: Sohag and Qena. Entire cases completed the Awareness, Knowledge, and Attitude of Egyptian people towards four of the common rheumatic diseases (Rheumatoid arthritis, Systemic lupus erythematosus, Crystal-induced arthritis, and Osteoarthritis): AKARSCO questionnaire that included basic information, general knowledge, and attitude about rheumatic diseases. Results The knowledge and awareness of rheumatic diseases are significantly higher among females. Regarding education level, there is a steady increase in the awareness with the rise of education level, with a highly significant correlation. Non-working and married participants had significantly higher knowledge compared to working and non-married ones. The attitude towards rheumatic diseases is significantly satisfactory among females. Regarding education level, there is a steady increase in the attitude with the rise of education level, with a highly significant correlation. Non-working and married participants had significant satisfactory attitude compared to working and non-married ones. The main sources of information about rheumatic diseases are media and Internet. Conclusion The overall awareness, knowledge, and attitude of population towards rheumatic diseases are limited in Egypt. The participants’ total score regarding the general knowledge level of rheumatic diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, gout, and osteoarthritis is bad. The participants’ overall level regarding the attitude towards rheumatic diseases is unsatisfactory.
