Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the changes in the foot dimensions in children and adolescents (3-18 years of age) from Krakow (Poland), between the years 2010 and 2020. The examined group of children and adolescents (3-18-year olds) took part in two cross-sectional surveys carried out in 2010 and 2020. The cohort examined in 2010 consisted of 1,989 females and 1,893 males and the 2020 series included 1,702 females and 1,584 males. Body height (B-v), length of the lower limbs (B-sy) foot length (pte-ap) and breadth (mtt-mtf) were measured. The last two measurements were the basis for calculating the foot index and estimated area of the foot. Generally, children examined in 2020 had relatively wider feet in proportion to their length compared to their peers from the 2010 cohort. This change was mirrored by secular trends regarding the estimated area of the foot. Additionally, a secular decrease of the length of the foot was compensated by the increasing width of this segment of the body, which among girls occurred especially after 10 years of age. The present study provides new information regarding secular changes in foot proportions among Polish children and adolescents. Results obtained in this stud are additionally significant, as there is no similar research concerning the population of Poland.

儿童和青少年(3-18岁)足部尺寸的长期变化。

本研究的目的是评估克拉科夫(波兰)儿童和青少年(3-18岁)在2010年至2020年间足部尺寸的变化。被调查的儿童和青少年(3-18岁)参加了2010年和2020年进行的两次横断面调查。2010年的研究对象包括1989名女性和1893名男性，2020年的研究对象包括1702名女性和1584名男性。测量体高(B-v)、下肢长(B-sy)、足长(pte-ap)和宽度(mtt-mtf)。最后两次测量是计算足部指数和估计足部面积的基础。总的来说，与2010年的同龄人相比，2020年接受调查的孩子的脚与身高的比例相对较宽。这种变化反映在关于脚的估计面积的长期趋势上。此外，足部长度的长期减少被身体这部分宽度的增加所补偿，这在女孩中尤其发生在10岁以后。本研究为波兰儿童和青少年足部比例的长期变化提供了新的信息。在这项研究中获得的结果也很重要，因为没有关于波兰人口的类似研究。
