The link between increased body weight and hindfoot complaints is largely based on correlation to single foot pathology. We retrospectively reviewed 6879 patients with tibialis posterior tendonitis (TPT), plantar fasciitis (PF), or both. Among patients with either TPT or PF, 1 in 11 (9%) had both. We then compared age, gender, and body mass index among these groups. Patients with both diagnoses were neither statistically older nor more obese than patients with single diagnoses. However, they were statistically more female. Given the overall high prevalence of obesity in the study population, we feel these data support the link between obesity and multiple foot pathology.
Prognostic, Level IV: Case series.
体重增加与后足疾病之间的联系很大程度上基于与单足病理学的相关性。我们回顾性分析了6879例患有胫后肌腱炎（TPT）、足底筋膜炎（PF）或两者皆有的患者。在患有TPT或PF的患者中，11人中有1人（9%）同时患有这两种疾病。然后我们比较了这些组之间的年龄、性别和体重指数。患有两种疾病的患者在统计学上并不比单一疾病的患者年龄更大或更肥胖。然而，在统计学上女性患者更多。鉴于研究人群中肥胖的总体患病率较高，我们认为这些数据支持肥胖与多种足部疾病之间的联系。
