The shape and height of the foot arches are already formed in the preschool and early school years; therefore, abnormalities and disorders in children's feet, and correlations between foot formation and somatic build, are still crucial and interesting issues for orthopedists, pediatricians, physiotherapists, and podiatrists. This study deals with changes in the height of the longitudinal and transverse arches of the foot in 4- to 6-year-old children.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 102 boys and 105 girls took part in a 24-month study in which their body weight, height, body mass index, and Clarke's and gamma angles were measured.

However, it was found that between ages 4 and 6 years, the proportion of overweight and obese boys and girls increased, and the medial longitudinal arch of the foot had a tendency to collapse in those with excessive body weight. The effect of nutritional status on the transverse arch of the foot is rather dubious.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"st4\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In light of these findings, therapeutic programs for preventing foot deformities in children should also focus on body weight control.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.7547\/14-101.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,28]],"date-time":"2015-07-28T18:45:48Z","timestamp":1438109148000},"page":"313-319","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Effect of Excessive Body Weight on Foot Arch Changes in Preschoolers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"105","author":[{"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Jankowicz-Szymanska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Higher Vocational School, Institute of Health Sciences, Tarnow, Poland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edyta","family":"Mikolajczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Physical Education, Department of Physiotherapy, Krakow, Poland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","reference":[{"key":"i8750-7315-105-4-313-b01","series-title":"JAMA","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"242","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2009.2012","article-title":"Prevalence of high body mass index in US children and adolescents","volume":"303","author":"Ogden\n              CL,","year":"2010","unstructured":"Ogden\n              CL, \n            \n              Carroll\n              MD, \n            \n              Curtin\n              LR, \n            et al\n          : Prevalence of high body mass index in US children and adolescents.
