"Gout" is sometimes referred to as the "rich man's disease" because it was historically associated with consuming rich foods and alcohol, which were thought to be more commonly consumed by the wealthy. However, gout can affect anyone regardless of their socioeconomic status, and the modern understanding of the disease recognizes that it is caused by a build-up of uric acid in the blood, which can be influenced by a variety of factors including genetics, diet, and lifestyle.
