as we increase in age we tend to increase in uric acid although this effect is more pronounced in women than men and it starts around the age of menopause which again fact into the hypothesis I alluded to earlier which is that estrogen probably plays a significant role in uric acid uh regulation
conversely the red line stays largely flat until the mid 40s and then really increases at a rate that exceeds even the rate at which the males increase and this continues throughout life but to note even at the age of 80 which is where these data stop women are still uh considerably lower than men
obviously the Blue Line represents men and the red line represents women and you can see that the Blue Line kind of you know is well first of all it's always higher than the red line and the rate of increase is modest and steady
