Three expert reports. Three very different conclusions about alcohol and health.
Why the confusion?
In our latest blog, Stockwell, Priore & @beckyim.bsky.social unpack the methods behind the headlines - and show how alcohol’s risks keep being downplayed.

Sharing our recent paper which examined how the occurrence of hyperuricemia (high blood uric acid concentration) and gout (the most common inflammatory arthritis) vary by socio-demographic groups and regions, and other diseases that are associated with gout in Chinese adults.
🆕A study covering 0.5 million adults from #China Kadoorie Biobank #CKB led by Dr Pek Kei Im et al. from Oxford and Peking University has found that #gout, the most common form of inflammatory arthritis, is linked to increased risks of several diseases.

Hyperuricemia, gout and the associated comorbidities in China: findings from a prospective study of 0.5 million adults
In Chinese adults, gout was associated with several comorbidities and a poor health
trajectory. Our findings reinforce the need for prevention and management of gout
and associated comorbidities.
