On equal footing: Trends in ankle/foot injuries for men vs. women.

CONCLUSIONS: Significant declines in A/F injuries have been noted in recent years, especially for women, whose risks are now similar to those for men. However, significant risk factors remain for each gender, primarily related to body habitus (BMI) and toepan intrusion. Age was a risk factor for foot injuries among women, for whom the foot pedals were more likely to be an injury source. Toepan intrusion remains a major factor for both men and women, but, with the exception of 30+ cm of intrusion, odds ratios were primarily much higher for men in each category of intrusion.
