Abstract

If purine intake from food is too high, exceeding 15% of the body's needs, there will be a buildup of purine in the body. Foods that contain high levels of purine cause uric acid levels to rise in the body. In Indonesia, the prevalence of gout at ages 55-64 years is around 45%, and at ages 65-74 years is around 51.9%, and at ages >75 years is around 54.8%. The prevalence of gout arthritis in Indonesia in 2018 was around 11.9%, with Aceh at 18.3%, West Java at 17.5%, and Papua at 15.4%. Based on the symptoms of gouty arthritis in East Nusa Tenggara, it is 33.1%, West Java is 32.1%, and Bali is also 30%. According to one study, increasing uric acid levels in the blood, apart from causing gout, is a strong predictor of death due to cardiovascular damage.
