title: [Incidence and various risk factors for gout in the Georgian SSR].
abstract: The results of simultaneous epidemiological surveys of the adult population (7000 persons) in the city of Tbilisi and workers at 7 enterprises of the machine-building and mining industries (9189) have shown that 0.29% of the population, mainly men aged over 40 with hereditary predisposition, obesity, carbohydrate metabolic derangement, consuming food rich in purine bases, national flavorings and spices, suffer from gout. A high prevalence of gout among workers of the mining industry and early age at the onset of disease suggest probable association of gout with some industrial factors (manganese, tungsten, molybdenum, bismuth).
