• #1 Foot pain and foot health in an educated population of adults: results from the Glasgow Caledonian University Alumni Foot Health Survey

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6098653/

  Moderate-to-severe foot pain was highly prevalent in a university-educated population and was independently associated with female gender, high body mass index, bunions, back pain, hip pain and lower occupational class. […] Moderate-to-severe foot pain affected 236/593 respondents (39.8%). […] The presence of moderate-to-severe foot pain was associated with worse scores for foot function, foot health and health-related quality-of-life. […] Moderate-to-severe foot pain was significantly and independently associated lower foot function, foot health and health-related quality of life scores following adjustment for age, gender and body mass index (p0.05). […] The results of this survey demonstrate that moderate-to-severe foot pain was highly prevalent in a university educated population of adults, affecting approximately 40% of respondents, and was associated with poorer foot health and reduced HRQoL.

  https://patient.info/doctor/painful-foot

  Painful feet are a very common problem. One cross-sectional postal survey reported a 9.4% prevalence of disabling foot conditions. […] Risk factors for foot pain include advancing age, obesity, injudicious footwear, high-impact exercise (eg, jogging) and underlying medical conditions (see under 'Aetiology’ section).

  https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/77860

  Objective. Despite the potential burden of foot pain, some of the most fundamental epidemiological questions surrounding the foot remain poorly explored. The prevalence of foot pain has proved difficult to compare across existing studies due to variations in case definitions. […] The prevalence of foot pain ranged from 13 to 36% and was lowest within the cohort that used a case definition specific to pain, compared to the four remaining cohorts that included components of pain, aching or stiffness. […] Foot pain is common and is associated with female sex, older age and obesity. The prevalence of foot pain is likely affected by the case definition used, therefore consideration must be given for future population studies to use consistent measures of data collection.

  Pain at the top of the foot near the ankle may be due to a stress fracture of the navicular bone. This is caused by repetitive force and is more commonly seen in athletes like basketball players and gymnasts. […] Pain at the top of the foot after an injury to the foot may be a Lisfranc injury, which is disruption of a strong ligament in the middle of the foot that holds up the arch. […] Pain at the top of the middle of the foot can be caused by arthritis in the small bones of the midfoot. Arthritis is the loss of cartilage in a joint and is typically due to wear and tear over time. The pain may be exacerbated when tying shoes too tightly. […] Similar to midfoot arthritis, pain on the top of the midfoot may be due to tendonitis of the anterior tibial tendon. This is typically an overuse injury of the tendon that helps you dorsiflex (bring the foot up off the ground).

  Pain on the top of the foot is often due to overuse or injury. The tendons, muscles, and bones in this area can be affected. Two common overuse injuries that affect the top of the foot are: […] The tendons that run along the top of the foot can become inflamed due to overuse, leading to pain and swelling on the top of the midfoot. This is common in people who engage in activities or jobs that involve repetitive movements, such as running, dancing, or climbing stairs or ladders. […] Just like in the ball of the foot, stress fractures can also develop in the bones on the top of the foot. This typically results from repetitive activities, such as running or jumping. However, in older adults, especially women, the risk of stress fractures increases due to decreased bone density. In these cases, stress fractures can occur even during regular daily activities such as walking.

  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2018/0901/p298.html

  Foot pain reportedly affects 30% of the general population.1 In addition to causing pain and inconvenience, some foot problems are associated with disability and fall-related morbidity.2 Many common foot ailments do not require podiatry referral or complex interventions and are best managed with appropriate over-the-counter (OTC) treatments and home care, with careful guidance from the family physician. […] Each year, more than 800,000 Americans younger than 65 years seek outpatient treatment of plantar fasciitis.3 In 80% of plantar fasciitis cases, symptoms resolve with OTC and home therapies alone, most often within six months of commencing treatment.4 Those who seek care within 12 months of onset are more likely to have resolution of symptoms.4 […] Hallux rigidus is common, affecting more than 40% of men and 50% of women by their early 70s. Significant hallux rigidus will develop in 20% of persons by their early 40s.21

  Pain at the top of the forefoot over the big toe is often caused by hallux rigidus, arthritis of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint of the big toe. This condition is different from bunions and gout, which can affect the same area. […] Stress fracture of one or more metatarsal bones: Tiny cracks in the bone that are typically the result of overuse or repetitive force, often from high-impact activities like running or jumping. However, they can also occur due to normal use of a bone that’s weakened by a condition such as osteoporosis. The pain from a stress fracture usually starts off as barely noticeable, but it tends to worsen over time, particularly during or after weight-bearing activity. Other symptoms may include swelling on the top of the foot or the outside of the ankle, tenderness to touch, and increased pain during activities and decreased pain during rest.

  https://lermagazine.com/article/the-epidemiology-of-plantar-fasciitis

  Plantar fasciitis is an important public health disorder as it is the most common cause of heel pain in the outpatient setting. Ten percent of people in the United States may present with heel pain over the course of their lives, with 83% of these patients being active working adults between the ages of 25 and 65 years old. Two large national data sets of ambulatory care data (excluding visits to podiatrists or federal, military, or Veterans Administrations facilities) from the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions National Center for Health Statistics found that plantar fasciitis accounts for an average of one million patient visits per year to medical doctors. Sixty-two percent of these visits were made to general medicine clinics, while 31% of patients were evaluated by orthopaedic or general surgeons. Additionally, a recent survey of members of the American Podiatric Medical Association revealed that plantar fasciitis/heel pain was the most prevalent condition being treated in podiatric clinics. Within the current literature, prevalence rates of plantar fasciitis among a population of runners have been shown to be between 4% and 22%.

  Plantar fasciitis is an important public health disorder as it is the most common cause of heel pain in the outpatient setting. Ten percent of people in the United States may present with heel pain over the course of their lives, with 83% of these patients being active working adults between the ages of 25 and 65 years old.
