To evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and foot parameters.METHOD:
We examined 1, 107 feet of 872 volunteers (male 325, female 547) with 3D foot scanner (Nexcan , K & I, Korea). The relations of BMI and foot parameters were analyzed by partial correlation analysis with adjusted height. We classified subjects into 4 groups by BMI; low-weight (25 kg/m2) group. The relations of these groups and foot parameters were analyzed by univariate ANOVA with fixed height.RESULTS:
Instep point length, ball width and girth, waist, instep height and girth, and vamp height showed a positive relation to BMI (p0.05).CONCLUSION:
This study showed that BMI was positively related to height, width, girth of foot. But, BMI had no significant relation to length of foot, and medial longitudinal arch.
