我们想要评估老年人的脚部姿势特征及其与BMI的关系。我们评估了227名老年女性和172名老年男性的BMI、足弓指数(AI)和足部姿势指数(FPI)。肥胖女性的AI平均值明显高于正常和超重女性。在肥胖男性中，FPI的某些标准的平均数明显更高。BMI与AI、部分FPI标准呈正相关。结论是，肥胖女性的脚更平坦，而肥胖男性的脚更内翻，这表明高BMI值与研究对象的脚部姿势特征之间存在关系。(C)2010爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司。保留所有权利。
We wanted to evaluate the postural characteristics of the feet of older people and their relationship with the BMI. We evaluated 227 older women and 172 older men with respect to the BMI, the arch index (AI) and the foot posture index (FPI). The obese women presented mean values for the AI significantly greater than those of the normal and overweight women. The means for some of the criteria of the FPI were significantly higher in the obese men. There was a positive correlation between the BMI and the AI and some of the FPI criteria. The conclusion was that obese women presented flatter feet while obese men presented more pronated feet, indicating a relationship between high BMI values and postural characteristics of the feet of subjects studied.
