Gout commonly affects which part of the body?

Elbow
Wrist
Knee
Big Toe

The correct answer is: Big Toe

Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis that occurs when uric acid crystals accumulate in your joints, causing sudden and severe joint pain. While it can affect many joints in the body, it most commonly affects the joint at the base of the big toe. This is due to the lower body temperature in that area, which allows the uric acid crystals to form more easily. The elbow, wrist, and knee can also be affected by gout but are less common compared to the big toe. Additionally, gout typically affects one joint at a time, so the option of multiple joints (knee area) is also incorrect. When experiencing symptoms of gout, it is important to seek medical attention to properly diagnose and manage the condition.
