Abstract

BACKGROUND

Physiological changes in the foot may be influenced by external factors such as shoe types or demographic parameters, leading to podiatric conditions in adulthood. The aim of this study was to assess the changes in morphological measurements of the feet of boys and girls during childhood and adolescence.

METHODS

A total of 1678 Ecuadorian children aged 8 to 17 years participated in the study. The length, width, and height of the foot were analyzed using a 3D scanner to obtain the arch height ratio for the diagnosis of pediatric flat foot.

RESULTS

Statistical differences were observed for lengths, widths, and perimeters of the foot in boys aged 5 to 15-16 years and girls aged 5 to 12-13 years. Differences in the height of the navicular bone were found in all age groups, with changes from 2.8 to 4.1% in boys and from 1.3 to 1.5% in girls. The greatest differences between boys and girls of the same age were found at 14 years old onwards. The highest prevalence of flat foot was found in 8-year-old girls (64.9%) and in 12-year-old boys (82.5%).

CONCLUSIONS

The feet of Ecuadorian children develop progressively during childhood and adolescence. Boys presented with longer and wider feet than girls of the same age. The highest prevalence of flat foot was found in 12-year-old boys and 8-year-old girls.

摘要

背景

足部的生理变化可能受到鞋类类型或人口统计学参数等外部因素的影响，从而在成年后引发足病。本研究的目的是评估儿童期和青春期男孩和女孩足部形态测量的变化。

方法

共有1678名8至17岁的厄瓜多尔儿童参与了该研究。使用3D扫描仪分析足部的长度、宽度和高度，以获得足弓高度比，用于诊断小儿扁平足。

结果

在5至15 - 16岁的男孩和5至12 - 13岁的女孩中，观察到足部长度、宽度和周长存在统计学差异。在所有年龄组中均发现舟骨高度存在差异，男孩的变化范围为2.8%至4.1%，女孩为1.3%至1.5%。同年龄的男孩和女孩之间最大差异出现在14岁及以后。扁平足患病率最高的是8岁女孩（64.9%）和12岁男孩（82.5%）。
