Many factors have been suggested to cause flatfoot deformity. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for flatfoot deformity, which itself can be a causative factor for other foot and ankle pathologies. The National Health Interview Survey (Podiatry Supplement) from 1990 was analyzed to determine associations of various demographic factors and other foot and ankle pathologies with self-reported flatfoot deformity. We found statistically significant (P <or= .05) associations of flatfoot with age, male gender, BMI, white-collar occupation, veteran status, bunion, hammertoe, calluses, arthritis, and poor health. Treatment and prevention of flatfoot may have an effect on an individual's overall health and occurrence of other foot and ankle pathologies.
许多因素被认为可导致扁平足畸形。本研究的目的是确定扁平足畸形的危险因素，而扁平足畸形本身可能是其他足踝部病变的一个致病因素。对1990年的国家健康访谈调查（足病补充调查）进行分析，以确定各种人口统计学因素以及其他足踝部病变与自我报告的扁平足畸形之间的关联。我们发现扁平足与年龄、男性、体重指数、白领职业、退伍军人身份、拇囊炎、槌状趾、胼胝、关节炎及健康状况不佳之间存在统计学显著关联（P≤0.05）。扁平足的治疗和预防可能会对个体的整体健康以及其他足踝部病变的发生产生影响。
