Body Mass Index Related to Changes in Foot Shape Under Special Consideration of Geometric Morphometrics

Overweight and obesity are becoming a global epidemic health problem, affecting children as well as adults. Extra weight and obesity influence some of the foot measurements and induces foot disorders that arise when the main foot arches collapse. Footprints are widely used as a method to classify foot types and foot pathologies in order to design foot orthotics, insoles and shoe inserts. In the study geometric morphometrics methods were used to visualize changes in foot shape affected by body mass index.
