The effects of gender and various anthropometric variables were previously reported as significant predictors of plantar fascia thickness. Although a strong correlation between either the body weight or body mass index (BMI) and plantar fascia thickness were not demonstrated, a moderate relation was stated. We retrospectively investigated the role of gender, height, weight, and body mass index on plantar fascia thickness at the calcaneal origin (PFCO) and 1 cm distal from the calcaneal origin (PF1cm) and the coronal length of the plantar fascia at the calcaneal origin (CLPF) in healthy subjects. The PFCO, PF1cm, and CLPF were retrospectively measured from magnetic resonance images of 100 healthy subjects. The gender, height, weight, and body mass index of the participants were also noted. Gender was a predictive factor for the length of the CLPF. The subjects with a BMI >25 kg/m(2) had a significantly greater PFCO, PF1cm, and CLPF. Height was mildly and BMI and weight were moderately related to the PFCO. However the CLPF showed a better correlation with height, BMI, and weight than that of plantar fascia thickness. CLPF better reflected the role of weight, BMI, and height than its thickness. It is a new parameter that could be valuable in the evaluation of plantar fascia disorders.
性别及各种人体测量学变量的影响先前已被报道为足底筋膜厚度的重要预测因素。尽管体重或体重指数（BMI）与足底筋膜厚度之间未显示出强相关性，但存在中度相关性。我们回顾性研究了性别、身高、体重和体重指数对健康受试者跟骨起点处（PFCO）、跟骨起点远端1厘米处（PF1cm）的足底筋膜厚度以及跟骨起点处足底筋膜的冠状长度（CLPF）的作用。从100名健康受试者的磁共振图像中回顾性测量PFCO、PF1cm和CLPF。还记录了参与者的性别、身高、体重和体重指数。性别是CLPF长度的预测因素。BMI>25kg/m²的受试者的PFCO、PF1cm和CLPF明显更大。身高与PFCO呈轻度相关，BMI和体重与PFCO呈中度相关。然而，CLPF与身高、BMI和体重的相关性比足底筋膜厚度更好。CLPF比其厚度更能反映体重、BMI和身高的作用。它是一个新参数，在评估足底筋膜疾病方面可能具有价值。
