BACKGROUND: Obesity and overweight during the developmental years are related
to certain dysmorphisms of the foot, in particular with flat foot. METHODS: The
authors evaluated the incidence of this dysmorphism in a population of 243
primary-school pupils, (3rd and 4th class - age range 8-10 years) of ULSS no. 16 in
Padua and, at the same time, determined the index of overweight and obesity and
the extent and quality of exercise practised. From the anthropometric data
collected, it was calculated that the Cole index (ideal ratio between the ideal BMI at
the 50 degrees percentile of weight and height as a function of age, sex and real
BMI). A photo- podoscopic examination was done in a bipodalic station and the
report analysed later on a Polaroid photograph. RESULTS: The incidence of flat foot
in the population studied was found to be 16.4%, of which 18.1% were males and
14.6% females. Fifty percent showed slight flat- footedness (1st degree), 28%
moderate (2nd degree) and 22% showed very marked flat-footedness (3rd degree).
The frequency of obesity and overweight in the same population was found to be
27.3% (Cole index >120). An analysis of the variance showed a significant
difference between the Cole Index in subjects with flat feet (121.77+/-19.2) and
the rest of the population examined (110.12+/-15.3) (p<.00001). CONCLUSIONS:
In this study, the children suffering from this dysmorphism were also found to be
obese or overweight.

The development in footprint morphology in 1851 Congolese children from urban and
rural areas, and the relationship between this and wearing shoes.

The footprints of 1851 Congolese children were studied using the index of
Chippaux-Smirak, Staheli's index of the arch, and Clarke's angle. The sample
consisted of 906 girls and 945 boys aged between 3 and 12 years, including city
children who wore shoes and children from rural areas who had gone barefoot. At
the ages of 3 and 4 years, most feet were morphologically flat, but the proportion of
flat feet decreased with age in both sexes. Boys had a greater tendency for flat feet.
According to the three parameters studied there was a greater proportion of flat
feet in the urban environment. By multiple regression analysis the three parameters
we had studied identified age as the primary predictive factor for flat feet. As in
previous studies in western populations, the girls had a higher inner arch than the
boys and footwear had very little influence on the morphology of the foot.
