Cross‐sectional analysis of foot function, functional ability, and health‐related quality of life in older people with disabling foot pain

Abstract

Objective. To determine whether disabling foot pain is associated with foot function characteristics, functional ability, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in older adults.

Correlates of foot pain severity in adults with hallux valgus: a cross‐sectional study

“…It is plausible that lower educational attainment could be associated with more physically demanding work, which would be consistent with our finding of a correlation between foot pain and occupational physical activity levels (Table 2). Other studies have reported foot pain to be associated with increasing age [18], female sex [3,7,18] and higher BMI [3,13,19,20], although none of these associations were apparent in our sample of adults with HV.…”

Associations Between Body Mass Index and Foot Joint Pain in Middle‐Aged and Older Women: A Longitudinal Population‐Based Cohort Study

“…When participants with and without FJP were analyzed according to BMI status, those with FJP had a statistically significant higher mean BMI than those without FJP at both time points ( P = 0.015 for Y10 and P = 0.017 for Y15). These findings are consistent with previously reported cross‐sectional studies ().…”

Foot pain and foot health in an educated population of adults: results from the Glasgow Caledonian University Alumni Foot Health Survey

“…This study is in agreement with previous studies in that poorer foot health, footwear-related foot health and HRQoL were all significantly associated with increasing age [ 8 , 58 ]. A somewhat surprising finding was that age was not significantly associated with foot pain severity.…”
