Among these, 1,370 participants with an available pedigree structure were included.

The prevalence of hallux valgus, lesser toe deformities, and plantar soft tissue atrophy was 31%, 29.6%, and 28.4%, respectively. Significant heritability was found for hallux valgus (range 0.29\u20130.89, depending on age and sex) and lesser toe deformity (range 0.49\u20130.90, depending on age and sex).
