Resumo: The aim of the study was identify the influence of gender and age of healthy adults on the foot structure and the plantar pressure during gait. Sample comprising 608 women and men participants. To identify the structure of the foot, anthropometric measurements of both the total and the truncated length of the foot, the width of the forefoot, and the heights of the back and navicular were taken. Peak pressure and plantar contact area in three foot-masks (forefoot, middle foot, and hindfoot) were considered markers of plantar pressure. The data were analyzed by two-way variance analysis.  No significant influence of age on the foot structure dimensions was identified; however, women presented measures equivalent to the five significantly smaller anthropometric markers. As for the peak plantar pressure, both males and females showed statistically similar values, but significant differences were observed for age. As to the plantar contact area, while age did not have significant influence, men showed significantly higher values in the three foot-masks. The findings suggest that gender influences the foot structure and the plantar contact area, while age influences the peak of plantar pressure.

Amostra constituída por 608 participantes de ambos os sexos. Para identificar a estrutura do pé, foram realizadas medidas antropométricas equivalentes ao comprimento total e truncado do pé, à largura do antepé, às alturas do dorso e do navicular. Pico de pressão e área de contato plantar em três máscaras podais (antepé, médio pé e retropé) foram considerados marcadores de pressão plantar. Os dados foram analisados mediante análise de variância two-way. Não foi identificada influência significativa da idade nas dimensões da estrutura do pé; contudo, mulheres apresentaram medidas equivalentes aos cinco marcadores antropométricos significativamente menores. Quanto ao pico de pressão plantar, ambos os sexos apresentaram valores estatisticamente similares, porém diferenças significativas foram observadas com relação à idade. No caso da área de contato plantar, enquanto a idade não demonstrou influência significativa, os homens apresentaram valores significativamente maiores nas três máscaras podais. Os achados sugerem que o sexo exerce influência na estrutura do pé e na área de contato plantar, enquanto o pico de pressão plantar é influenciado pela idade.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
