    The most common joint affected by gout is the great toe MCP (metatarsophalangeal) joint. Gout is a form of arthritis that occurs when uric acid crystals build up in the joints, leading to inflammation and severe pain. The great toe MCP joint is particularly susceptible to gout because it is located at the base of the big toe, where uric acid crystals tend to accumulate. This joint is often the first to be affected in a gout flare-up, causing intense pain, redness, and swelling.

Women generally have lower rates of risky behaviors such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and they also tend to seek medical care more regularly. Additionally, hormonal and genetic factors may also play a role in women's longer life expectancy. However, it is important to note that this is a general trend and individual factors can also greatly influence life expectancy.
