To determine the prevalence of foot problems and its related associations in different regions across India among people with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) stratified by age and gender.
A survey was done among a randomly chosen sample of 1517 Indian inhabitants (8-50 years of age) residing in different regions of the country under the drive named Healthy Athlete (HA) Fit Feet Screening Program of Special Olympics Bharat. Chi-Square test is used to draw an inference of prevalence of different foot conditions among the population from different age groups and from different genders.
The percentage of Healthy Athletes with the normal foot in Bhiwadi, Warangal, Ajmer, Bhopal, Guwahati, and Jodhpur was 48.14%, 53.92%, 55.82%, 27.31%, 54.47%, and 76.34%. The percentage of athletes with foot problems from these areas was 53.08%, 46.07%, 44.1%, 72.69%, 45.53%, and 26.35%. Moreover, on analyzing the athletes with foot problems on the basis of the age group, it was found that the middle age group athletes from Bhopal had the highest incidence of more frequent foot problems. Furthermore, on comparing the prevalence of foot problem on basis of gender it was found that female athletes have more prevalence than men.
The numerical results indicate the middle age group subjects have statistically significant higher tendencies towards the foot problems in contrast to the lower and the higher age group subjects Also, the prevalence of the foot problems and their related associations in women are higher compared to men.
在印度不同地区，按年龄和性别对智障人士（ID）的足部问题及其相关关联进行分层，以确定其流行率。
在印度各地，通过名为“健康运动员（HA）适合足部筛查计划”的特殊奥林匹克运动印度项目，对 1517 名随机选择的印度居民（8-50 岁）进行了一项调查。卡方检验用于推断不同年龄组和不同性别人群中不同足部状况的流行率。
比瓦迪、瓦尔冈、阿杰梅尔、博帕尔、古瓦哈蒂和焦特布尔的正常足部健康运动员比例分别为 48.14%、53.92%、55.82%、27.31%、54.47%和 76.34%。来自这些地区的有足部问题的运动员比例分别为 53.08%、46.07%、44.1%、72.69%、45.53%和 26.35%。此外，在根据年龄组分析有足部问题的运动员时发现，博帕尔的中年组运动员足部问题的发生率最高。此外，在基于性别比较足部问题的患病率时发现，女性运动员的患病率高于男性。
数字结果表明，与低龄和高龄组相比，中年组受试者在足部问题上有统计学上更高的倾向。此外，与男性相比，女性的足部问题及其相关关联的患病率更高。
