Observational Study
Foot health and quality of life among university students: cross-sectional study.
Foot problems are believed to reduce quality of life and are increasingly present. Even among young adults of university age, untreated foot problems can lead to postural and mobility problems. Accordingly, our aim here was to determine the relationship between foot health and quality of life and general health among male and female university students. ⋯ These university students' quality of life relating to foot health was poor. This appears to be associated with the university period, regardless of gender.
