Abstract

This article discusses the properties of disorders of carbohydrate metabolism in elderly patients with gout. The results of examination of 60 patients who were divided by the HOMA index into two groups are presented. The significant disorders of carbohydrate metabolism during gout that are risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases are revealed.
