Menopause, Hormone Therapy, and Gout in Older Women: An Overlooked Connection : A Comment on "Comparison of Clinical Characteristics in Older-Onset and Common-Age-of-Onset Gout: A Prospective Gout Cohort Study" by Do et al

I read with great interest the article by Do et al. on the clinical characteristics of older-onset versus common-age-of-onset gout. The authors provide valuable insights into how age at onset influences comorbidities, treatment strategies, and disease expression. I would like to add a perspective on two important aspects that merit further discussion: the role of older women and the potential impact of hormonal therapy during menopause.
