Gout is associated with a significant burden of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a favorable lifestyle on incident cardiovascular events in patients with gout. We identified 9110 patients with gout from the UK Biobank cohort based on self-report and/or hospital diagnostic codes. Lifestyle behaviors, including smoking status, physical activity, obesity, and diet, were categorized into three patterns: favorable (3-4 healthy factors), intermediate (2 healthy factors), and unfavorable (0-1 healthy factor). The cardiovascular risk of participants with and without gout was estimated based on their serum uric acid levels and lifestyle patterns. Among 9110 patients with gout and 457596 participants without gout, the median follow-up duration was 8.9 years. The incidence rate of cardiovascular disease was significantly higher in the gout population than in the non-gout population (11.38vs 5.49 per 1000 person-years). The gout population consistently exhibited a high cardiovascular risk, irrespective of uric acid levels, whereas a positive correlation was observed between uric acid levels and cardiovascular risk in the non-gout population. Adopting a favorable lifestyle pattern was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease in both gout and non-gout populations. Across all categories of uric acid, a favorable lifestyle was found to reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with gout. Patients with gout remain at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease despite having normal uric acid levels. Lifestyle modifications may represent an effective and cost-efficient therapeutic approach for preventing cardiovascular events in this population.
