富含嘌呤类的食物(如含酒精饮料、海鲜和动物内脏)与高风险尿酸血症和痛风关系密切。[2]Choi HK, Atkinson K, Karlson EW, et al. Purine-rich foods, dairy and protein intake and the risk of gout in men. N Engl J Med. 2004;350:1093-1103.http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa035700#t=articlehttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15014182?tool=bestpractice.com
降低含酒精饮料的摄入量,尤其是啤酒,可降低痛风风险。[31]Choi HK, Atkinson K, Karlson EW, et al. Alcohol intake and risk of incident gout in men: a prospective study. Lancet. 2004;363:1277-1281.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15094272?tool=bestpractice.com
降低海鲜和肉的摄入量有助于降低尿酸水平。
降低富含嘌呤类蔬菜的摄入(即芦笋、菠菜和蘑菇)似乎不会影响尿酸水平。
乳制品可降低痛风风险。
