“…The standard deviation on that scale for people is approximately 29 [11][12][13] ; thus, for a bilateral hypothesis, an alpha risk of 5% and a statistical power of 80%, at least 47 cases must be studied in each group (n ¼ 94). Controls were matched to cases according to age and gender attributes.…”

“…Indeed, up to 8% of musculoskeletal pain consultations carried out by general practitioners were associated with foot and ankle alterations [ 6 ]. This prevalence may increase in older adults who present foot pain with specific alterations such as hyperkeratosis lesions, hallux valgus, plantar warts, fungus, nail changes, sprains, and lesser toe deformities [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ], all of which are associated with higher disability [ 13 ]. In addition, an impaired health-related quality of life (QoL) and an increased fall risk may be related to these foot disorders [ 14 , 15 ].…”

Background: The Podiatric Health Questionnaire (PHQ) is a health-related questionnaire consisting of six questions designed for measuring foot health status. To date, the PHQ has only been validated in the English-language version. Thus, this study aimed to perform the Spanish translation and test–retest procedures of the PHQ (PHQ-S). Method: The forward/backward translation and test–retest reliability methods were applied from English to Spanish languages. Regarding the total score for each domain, internal consistency and reliability were determined by the Cronbach α and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with a confidence interval (CI) of 95%. Results: High internal consistency was shown for the six domains: (1) walking with a Cronbach α of 0.97; (2) hygiene and nail care with 0.93 and 093, respectively; (3) foot pain with 0.91; (4) worry and concern domain with 0.904; (5) quality of life with 0.87; and (6) the self-perception of how their feet are feeling measured by a visual analogic scale with 0.92. Excellent test–retest reliability (ICC = 0.99 (95% CI = 0.96–0.98)) was shown for the total score. Conclusions: The PHQ-S was shown to be a valid and reliable tool for an acceptable use in the Spanish population.

“…This research is based on people's perceptions of health and well-being. Foot problems affect the quality of personal life, social life and the work experience [19]. Roma women show lower values than Roma men in all the FHSQ domains, with the lowest value being the footwear domain.…”

“…This is an under-researched population, and as such the work is of interest. National health surveys of the Roma population in Spain and Europe have been carried out within the framework of the European project entitled "Health and the Roma community, analysis of the situation in Europe" [9] [36], which has been adapted and translated to know foot health in certain pathologies [18] [23] [24], and on populations with certain characteristics [19] [20] [22].…”

Background: Foot health of the Roma population is a challenge for the health professionals where this minority is significant, as is the case in Spain. At present, little is known about foot health of the Roma population and their knowledge would promote the training of these professionals at the community level. Foot pain is common and a reason for consulting podiatry services. The purpose of this study was to determine foot health among the Roma population according to the Foot Health Status Questionnaire. Method: An observational, cross-sectional and quantitative study conducted at the Roma population living in Spain in 2018. Self-reported data and the Foot Health Status Questionnaire were recorded. Examining the general health and foot health (foot pain, foot function, footwear and general health) and general (general health, social capacity, physical activity and vigour). This questionnaire is recommended as a valid and reliable patient-reported outcome. The obtained scores were compared. Results: A sample made up of 624 men and women from the Roma population took part in this study. 45% were Roma men and 55% Roma women. In the first section of the FHSQ, a lower score of values was recorded in the footwear domain (62.5) and in the general foot health domain (60). Gypsy women obtained lower scores in all the domains. In the second section, lower scores were obtained in the vigour (56) domain and in the general health (60) domain. A large effect size (r-Rosenthal) was found by gender in the footwear domain (0.334) and in the vigour domain (0.195). Roma women showed higher values in cardiac disorders, serious illnesses, doctor visits and foot problems. 67.8% reported that they had never been assisted by a podiatrist. Conclusions: The studied Roma population has foot health problems, and these are more pronounced among women. They show lower values in the footwear and vigour domains. More professional training is required for health workers in this field to avoid cultural diversity stereotypes.
