“…Regarding the sociodemographic characteristics of the sample, we found statistically significant differences in BMI ( p < 0.05), as did Andreo-García et al in a study on the effect of foot-health-related quality of life in rural and urban populations: a case-control study. 26 We also show statistically significant differences for age and sex ( p < 0.05), as did Mazoteras-Pardo et al, in a study of the degree of impact of the tailor's bunion on the quality of life. 36 Regarding the comparison of the scores obtained with the SF-36, they were higher for the variables bodily pain and mental health with statistically significant differences ( p < 0.05), the same as Sabbah et al, found in a study of quality of life of rural and urban populations in the Lebanon using the SF-36 health survey.…”

“…Several existing studies indicate lower satisfaction in quality of life related to foot health in people with foot problems and systemic diseases. 26,[31][32][33][34][35] To the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of studies comparing foot health and its relationship to quality of life between rural and urban populations.…”

“…A case-control research was done in 2023 by Andreo-García et al, on the impact of quality of life related to with and without foot problems in a rural population in Spain, concludes that people with foot pathologies present a negative impact of the quality of life compared to those who do not present foot pathology, especially for the overall health domains: physical role, physical function, body pain and health general. 26 Despite this impact, there are no studies in Spain that have compared foot health in people with foot problems in the rural population compared to the urban population and its relationship with quality of life.…”

Foot problems are very common in the community. Studies indicate that between 18% and 63% of people have foot pain or stiffness and that foot problems have a large impact on people's functional decline and a significant detrimental impact on measures of quality of life related to health. The general objective of this research was to compare foot health in people from the rural population compared to people from the urban population and its relationship with quality of life. A case–control descriptive study was developed with a sample of 304 patients, 152 patients from the rural population and 152 patients from the urban population. Quality of life was measured through the SF‐36 Health Questionnaire in its Spanish version. The rural population group had a mean age of 46.67 ± 13.69 and the urban population group 49.02 ± 18.29. Regarding the score of the lowest levels of quality of life related to foot problems, the rural population group compared to the urban population group showed: for body pain (52.21 ± 30.71 vs. 67.80 ± 25.28, p < 0.001); and for mental health (69.58 ± 18.98 vs. 64.60 ± 14.88, p < 0.006). Differences between groups were analysed using Student's t‐test for independent samples, which showed statistical significance (p < 0.05). This research offers evidence that the rural population presents better levels of mental health and lower levels of bodily pain in the domains of the SF‐36 Health Questionnaire comparing with the urban population.

Background Measuring quality of life (QoL) plays an essential role in enabling meaningful cross-cultural comparisons. The Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ) is a valid tool for assessing both foot-specific and general health-related quality of life (HrQoL), making it suitable for evaluating Plantar Fasciitis (PF) patients. Methodology The aim of this study is to translate the FHSQ into Arabic following methodological assessments of the translation procedure. The translation was done using forward and back translation. A pre-test questionnaire was distributed among 50 patients, resulting in the final FHSQ-Ar version, which then underwent various psychometric evaluations among 87 persons with PF, including internal consistency, dimensionality, reliability, interpretability, and construct validity against the 100-mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results Internal consistency was adequate, ranging from 0.70 to 0.92. Reliability values ranged from 0.69 to 0.80, with a poor standard error of measurement (individual) but an acceptable standard error of measurement (group). Two domains exhibited floor effects, while one domain showed a ceiling effect. Regarding validity, three out of four hypothesized correlations with VAS scores were confirmed. Factor analysis revealed four dimensions, and confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated good fit (comparative fit index = 0.98, standardized root mean square = 0.06). Conclusion The psychometric properties of the FHSQ-Ar were satisfactory. Further validation for other diseases may be warranted.
