Abstract
Pregnancy women coincide with numerous anatomical and physiological changes, which are believed to have a harmful effect on the
quality of life related to foot health. The goal of this research was to identify and compare the impact foot health and overall health in a
sample of pregnancy women and women without pregnancies with normalised reference values.
A sample of 159 participants of a mean age of 30.13±6.28 came to the area of midwifery center where self-reported data were
registered, informants’ with a 1 or various pregnancy was determined and the scores obtained were compared in the foot health
status questionnaire (FHSQ). This has 13 questions that assess 4 health domains of the feet, namely pain, function, general health,
and footwear.
The pregnant women group showed a worse quality of life related to health in general and to foot health specifically at the following
domains, foot function, footwear, general foot, health, physical activity, social capacity, and vigor (P<0.05) and there were no
differences at foot pain and general health (P>0.05).
Pregnant women present a negative impact on the quality of life related to foot health, which appears to be associated with the
pregnancy period.
