Evaluation of the Impact of Dietary Education and Intervention on Gout Patients Receiving Urate-Lowering Therapy
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
DASH Diet: Participants will receive monthly reminders about dietary education and complete questionnaires to assess adherence to the assigned diet. * Every 6 months, participants will undergo measurements of body composition using bioelectrical impedance analysis, waist and hip circumference, and blood pressure during their scheduled outpatient visits to assess their health status. * Blood samples will be collected annually to assess the effects of the dietary intervention and education on participants' health. * Participants will receive KRW 40,000 in compensation for study participation every 12 months.
Low-Uric acid Diet: Participants will receive monthly reminders about dietary education and complete questionnaires to assess adherence to the assigned diet. * Every 6 months, participants will undergo measurements of body composition using bioelectrical impedance analysis, waist and hip circumference, and blood pressure during their scheduled outpatient visits to assess their health status. * Blood samples will be collected annually to assess the effects of the dietary intervention and education on participants' health. * Participants will receive KRW 40,000 in compensation for study participation every 12 months.
Study summary
The goal of this interventional study is to learn whether dietary education and intervention can reduce blood uric acid levels in patients with gout.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
* Can dietary education and intervention reduce gout-related clinical laboratory results?
* Can dietary education and intervention improve BMI and SBP/DBP in participants with gout? In this study, participants will be divided into three groups, including a control group, and their outcomes compared, in order to determine whether a low-purine (low-uric-acid) diet and a DASH diet are effective in reducing blood uric acid levels in participants with gout.
Participants will:
* Participate in the study for a total of 2 years, receiving dietary education and intervention according to their assigned group throughout this period
* Complete surveys, physical measurements, and receive dietary education once every 6 months
* Receive dietary education by phone and through an app, and complete surveys, once every month
