“…We have indicated that there are no statistically significant association between BFP and muscle mass percentage with digit deformities (ALFA, BETA). However, there are reports claiming that, in adulthood, excessive weight contributes to the development of hallux varus, hallux valgus, digitus quintus varus, widening of the heel area, and heel misalignment [3,6,27,32]. Considering the fact that adolescents with excessive adipose tissue often remain obese in adulthood, musculoskeletal complications of childhood obesity may aggravate at a later age.…”

Prior studies have investigated associations between body mass index (BMI) and foot structure; however, these studies are limited only to the evaluation of the longitudinal arch of the foot and do not evaluate associations with body composition. Therefore, this study examined associations between body fat percentage (BFP) and muscle mass percentage with foot structure in adolescents. This study was conducted with 158 healthy subjects aged from 11 to 13 years. Body fat percentage and muscle mass percentage were estimated using bioelectrical impedance analysis. A podoscope was used to calculate Clarke’s angle (CL), the Wejsflog index (WI), hallux valgus angle (ALPHA), and the angle of the varus deformity of the fifth toe (BETA). Lower values of CL were found in participants with excessive BFP (p = 0.021). No differences were observed in the values of the Wejsflog, ALFA or BETA indices between normal and excessive BFP groups. Participants with the lowest muscle mass percentage were significantly more likely to have lower values of CL and WI (p = 0.014 and p < 0.001, respectively). Excess BFP appeared to have a significant effect on the longitudinal arch and low muscle mass percentage on the longitudinal and transverse arches of the foot in adolescents. There was no association between fat and muscle content with positions of the big and fifth toes.

“…18 The previous study by Tomankova (2015) revealed that subjects with a lower arch appeared to have a greater BMI. 5 Accordingly, other study showed that low arch of midfoot cause malalignment of the proximal lower extremity, frequently leading to structural and functional deficits. 1 The presence of excessive low arch leading to calcaneal eversion generates valgus of the knee joint, internal rotation of the tibia and femur.…”

“…Also, weight gain is associated with increased plantar midfoot pressure and functional limitations related with the foot. 2,4 The significant results of a study performed by Tomankova (2015), showed that excess body weight is a potential predictor of greater plantar pressure peak under the midfoot. 5 Increasing midfoot plantar pressure commonly followed by the loss of the longitudinal midfoot arch, resulting in pronation of the foot.…”

Background: Understanding the biomechanical structure of the body is important to preventing and treating the musculoskeletal system problems. The increase in body mass index contributes to the elevated peak plantar pressure and decreased longitudinal arch of the foot. This condition, consequently, may cause mal-alignment of the lower extremity, leading to promote cartilage breakdown, osteophyte formation, subchondral bone hypertrophy, lead to progression of knee joint destruction and functional deficits. Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the correlation between body weight, plantar pressures, ankle and knee angle measurement parameters. Methods: The research study sample included 30 female who met inclusion and exclusion criteria. In order to evaluate the structural characteristic of plantar foot, we used the blueprint method on bare-foot and also when carrying 15 and 25 kilogram of load. Furthermore, to measure knee-angle parameters, we also performed a bilateral standing radiograph approach of lower extremity. Results: This study showed a significant correlation between BMI/Body mass index and HW/heel width (p = 0,00) with low positive correlation for both sides. Furthermore, BMI and PAW/plantar arch width (p = 0,00) showed a moderate positive correlation for both sides. In contrast to that, BMI and MFA/mid-foot area (p = 0,00) showed a moderate positive correlation for the right side but low positive correlation for the left side. Another measurement such as BMI and AI/arch index (p = 0,00) had a strong positive correlation on the right side and moderate positive correlation on the left side. Moreover, BMI and AAL/Ankle angle alignment (p = 0,00) revealed a strong positive correlation for both sides, BMI and XCTP/trans-condylar tibial plateau angle (p < 0,05) had a low positive correlation for both sides, meanwhile BMI and AA/ankle angle (p = 0,00) showed a low positive correlation for both sides. Conclusion: Increasing axial load was statistically significant correlated with increasing plantar pressure and ankle-knee radiographic angle parameter. The results also revealed that increasing axial load was found to have strong correlation to the arch index (AI) and ankle angle alignment (AAL). It was a compensatory phenomenon, which can cause structural disturbances and function of the lower limb.

“…Moreover, a higher BMI has profound effects on softtissue structures, such as tendons fascia and cartilage Obesity is considered a predictor of postural stability and a high BMI is an important risk factor for falling 4 . Obesity and being overweight are major risk factors for many chronic diseases 5 . Being overweight and obese are associated with a musculoskeletal state and are responsible for significant disabilities and impaired quality of life 6 .…”

Background: In women age 50 to 59 (typically the early menopausal years) the present age considered obese (BMI ≥30.0 kg/m 2 ) has increased by 47.3%. overweight and obesity are known risk factors for insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, sleep apnea, arthritis, gall bladder disease and certain type of cancer. Therefore, it is important to determine the relationship between BMI and percentage of total body fat.Objectives: Objectives of the study were to find out and determine the correlation between Body Mass Index and postural changes in postmenopausal women. Method:This was an observational study with 40 subjects as a sample. subjects were selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria included female subjects of postmenopausal women in between age group 45 to 60 years. Subjects having an body mass index grading obese above > = 30 kg/m 2 were excluded from study. Exclusion criteria were Presence of neurological diseases with balance alteration. Musculoskeletal disorders with deformity of lower extremities. History of lower limb or spine injuries or illness. Medication that can change balance sedative and hypnotic agent.Results: Statistical analysis of postural assessment chart stated that there is higher risk of obesity due to higher change of postural changes subjects of postmenopausal women. Conclusion:The study concluded that there are high problems of postural changes in postmenopausal women and there is high problem of obesity in postmenopausal women.

The impact of obesity on foot morphology in women aged 48 years or older

Abstract: As a result of postmenopausal changes; body fat mass (kg) rises in women by 0.4 kg/year to the age of 50, then to 75 years it rises more rapidly and then slightly decreases thereafter (
