A pair of high heels may cause arthritis; such conclusion is suggested by the researchers. A study has found that using the right height when young makes him likely to face these conditions at age continued.
High heel shoes, sandals, and flip-flops found is the biggest cause of joint problems in old age, whereas for sports shoes having the smallest possibility of causing any circumstances. The study, conducted on behalf of the American College of Rheumatology, investigated the relationship between joint problems with footwear.
Among the women, the researchers accurately showed the correlation between ‘selections of bad shoes ‘ – such as high-heels with arthritis.
But for men, who tend to wear comfortable shoes, there is no such connection. Less than 2% of men wear shoes ‘unhealthy’.
The researchers estimate that the conditions of the foot and toe represent the top 20 reasons why patients aged 65 to 74 years visiting the doctor.
And that is not appropriate footwear could be one cause, the researchers warned. In total, more than 1400 men and 1900 women questioned about footwear and foot problems.
Authors noted the study results: “In women, we found an increased risk of pain in the back of the leg with the use of shoes.
“While further research is needed, the young women also need to make careful choices regarding the type of their shoes to avoid pain in the rear foot in old age, or doing stretching to reduce the influence of high heels on a sore foot.”
