Prevalence and clinical factors associated with pes planus among children and adults: A population-based synthesis and systematic review

Estimates of pes planus ( “flatfoot”) prevalence vary considerably across studies. Moreover, there is uncertainty over which factors are associated with the pes planus prevalence. We aimed to systematically review the prevalence and clinical factors associated with flatfoot among children and adults. We searched Web of S cience, PubMed/MEDLINE, and Google Scholar databases reporting population-based flatfoot prevalence. Two reviewers independently extracted the data and assessed the qualities of the studies.
