Mechanical hyperkeratotic lesions (MHL) are common condition amongst population of all ages. Such problems may be associated with pain, reduction in mobility, changes of gait and risk of falls and is believed to affect the quality of life (QoL), general health and optimal foot health.
The main aim of this study was to describe and compare both foot and general health-related QoL in two groups of participants: (i) with MHL and (ii) healthy controls.
A total sample of 150 patients, mean age 49.50 ± 36.50 years, was recruited from an outpatient clinic. Demographic data, medical history and clinical characteristics of overall health were determined, and the obtained values were compared by the Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ).
The FHSQ scores of the sample with MHL showed lower scores than control subjects in sections one and two for footwear, general and foot health, foot pain, foot function and physical activity (P < 0.01), but not for social capacity and vigour (P > 0.01).
People with MHL showed a decrease in QoL, based on FHSQ scores, regardless of gender.
机械性过度角化病变(MHL)是各年龄段人群的常见病症。这些问题可能与疼痛、活动能力下降、步态变化以及跌倒风险增加有关,据信会影响生活质量(QoL)、整体健康和足部健康状况。
本研究的主要目的是描述和比较两组参与者的足部和一般健康相关 QoL:(i)患有 MHL,(ii)健康对照组。
从一个门诊诊所招募了总共 150 名患者,平均年龄 49.50±36.50 岁。确定了人口统计学数据、病史和整体健康的临床特征,并通过足部健康状况问卷(FHSQ)比较了获得的值。
患有 MHL 的样本的 FHSQ 评分在鞋类、一般和足部健康、足部疼痛、足部功能和身体活动的第一和第二部分的得分低于对照组(P<0.01),但在社交能力和活力方面的得分没有差异(P>0.01)。
无论性别如何,患有 MHL 的人 QoL 都有所下降,这一点可以通过 FHSQ 评分看出。
