Obesity has been posited as a predictor for the development of Charcot neuroarthropathy, a severe form of degenerative joint disease associated with peripheral neuropathy and diabetes mellitus. The present case-control study investigated the relationship between elevated (overweight and obese) body mass index and acute Charcot neuroarthropathy in a diabetic population. The final data set consisted of 49 patients, 20 (40.82%) of whom had Charcot foot and 29 (59.18%) who served as controls. In the present investigation, no statistically significant association was found between an elevated body mass index and the development of acute Charcot neuroarthropathy involving the foot.
肥胖被认为是夏科氏神经关节病发展的一个预测因素，夏科氏神经关节病是一种与周围神经病变和糖尿病相关的严重退行性关节疾病。本病例对照研究调查了糖尿病患者中升高的（超重和肥胖）体重指数与急性夏科氏神经关节病之间的关系。最终数据集包括49名患者，其中20名（40.82%）患有夏科氏足，29名（59.18%）作为对照。在本研究中，未发现体重指数升高与足部急性夏科氏神经关节病的发展之间存在统计学上的显著关联。
