“…In 1969 Emmerson and colleagues measured the serum uric acid concentration in 382 Gulf of Carpentaria Aborigines and significantly higher serum urate concentrations were noted 15. The men compared with the women had consistently higher concentrations in keeping with reports in all racial groups studied throughout the world and concentrations tended to increase with age in both sexes.…”

“…Similarly, Emmerson et al (1969) in a study of 80 male and 133 female subjects found no correlation between serum uric acid and height, weight, or surface area in the male population. A slight significant correlation was noted between serum uric acid and weight in the females (r = 0.17); no significance was noted between serum uric acid and height or surface area.…”

“…Detailed genetic studies on the Ayatal tribe of Taiwanese Aborigines have recently been performed and are described below. Other Aboriginal populations that have been studied include Australian Aborigines, in whom the occurrence of gouty arthritis was originally reported to be rare [26,27], although the prevalence of hyperuricemia was reported to be higher in Aboriginals compared with non-Aboriginals [28]. A recent report by Chan and Segasothy [29], however, suggests that gout may be more common than previously thought in this native population.…”
