Abstract
To identify the relationship between the body mass index and body fat composition with foot arch among osteoarthritis patients. A cross-sectional study involved 30 patients with Osteoarthritis. The test results show that there is a significant correlation between body mass index and body structure and arch composition in osteoarthritis people (p=0.005, r=-0.497). This study also found that there is a significant correlation between body fat composition and foot arch (p<0.001, r=-0.668). Body mass index and body fat composition each had a significant relationship with the shape of a person's arch. In patients with osteoarthritis with pes planus have a higher body mass index than respondents with pes cavus. Likewise, with fat composition, people with pes cavus had a lower fat composition compared with respondents with pes planus.
