Abstract

In this study, we examined whether differences in feet alignment doe to dorsal arch height and arch height ratio（AHR）are related to characteristics, and anamnesis of foot, and sports career. This survey recruited 689 community-dwelling participants (370 males, 319 females) aged 18 years and older in Japan. Measurements of the questionnaires, foot length, and dorsal arch height were used in our methodology. The questionnaire examined anamnesis and foot pain, and an individual’s sports career. We measured and analyzed the AHR. Subjects were classified by DAH and AHR values, for high (H group), low (L group), or standard (S group), respectively. The associations between the three groups were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA and multiple comparisons. Furthermore, we correlated the variables that caused significant differences with DAH and AHR. The χ2 test analyzed the binary questionnaire results. The significance level was set at 5%. Consequently. Age, Weight and BMI were highest in the H group and a significant difference was observed with the L group. We observed that the average weight and BMI for the H group was higher than for the L group. It was suggested that the increase in age and BMI affected the H group.
