Best Answer

It is actually less likely for pirates to get gout because of the lifestyle they were forced to lead. they had to keep fit and certainly did not partake of a constantly rich diet, prerequisites for many gout sufferers.

On the other hand some people have a predisposition to producing a great deal of uric acid any way and end up with gout as a result. So Yes some pirates might also have suffered from gout.
