Resumen: Muchas mujeres han usado zapatos de tacón alto (HHS) en algún momento de sus vidas y muchas los usan a diario, con una mayor prevalencia entre el 39% y el 78% observada en entornos institucionales y clínicos. El propósito de este estudio fue describir y comparar las puntuaciones obtenidas con respecto a la salud de los pies y la salud en general en una muestra de mujeres que utilizan HHS en contraposición a una muestra de mujeres sin HHS con valores de referencia normalizados. Una muestra de 120 participantes con una edad media de 41,94 ± 13,912 llegó a un centro de salud donde se registraron los datos autoinformados. Se determinaron los sujetos con y sin HHS y se compararon las puntuaciones obtenidas en el Cuestionario del Estado de Salud de los Pies (FHSQ). Este cuestionario está compuesto por 13 preguntas que evalúan 4 dominios de la salud de los pies, a saber, el dolor, la función, la salud general y el calzado. Las mujeres del grupo HHS mostraron una peor calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en general y con la salud de los pies en particular. Las diferencias entre los dos grupos fueron evaluadas por medio de un test t para muestras independientes, mostrando una significación estadística (P<0,01). Las mujeres con HHS presentan un impacto negativo en la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud de los pies.
Many women have worn high-heel shoes (HHS) at some point in their lives and many wear them on a daily basis, with higher prevalence between 39% and 78% observed in institutional and clinical settings. The purpose of this study was to describe and compare the scores obtained with regard to foot health and health in general in a sample of women that use HHS as opposed to a sample of women without HHS with normalized reference values. A sample of 120 participants with a mean age of 41.94 ± 13.912 came to a health center where self-reported data were registered. The subjects with and without HHS were determined and the scores obtained were compared in the Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ). This questionnaire is made of 13 questions that assess 4 health domains of the feet, namely pain, function, general health and footwear. The women in the HHS group showed a worse quality of life related to health in general and to foot health specifically. Differences between the two groups were evaluated by means of a t-test for independent samples, showing statistical significance (P<0.01). Women with HHS present a negative impact on the quality of life related to foot health.
