AB The aim of study is to examine the factors that may influence pain, disability and the limitationof activity due to the presence of fibromyalgia in the foot.Methods: 323 patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia were recruited. Each participant completed the FootFunction Index questionnaire (FFI) and the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR). A multi-variate analysis was performed to determine the factors associated with high scores in each of thesequestionnaires.Results: In both questionnaires, the subscales presenting the highest scores were foot pain (FFI score:71.18 ± 20.40) and symptom intensity (FIQR score: 36.23 ± 8.04). According to the multivariate analysis,foot function is influenced by age (p = < 0.001), BMI (p = 0.001), lack of physical activity (p = < 0.001), thepresence of rheumatoid arthritis (p = 0.012), retirement due to disability (p = < 0.001) and being un-employed (p < 0.001).Conclusion: Fibromyalgia affects foot function, provoking significant pain. Related factors include age, BMI,lack of physical activity, the presence of rheumatoid arthritis, and employment status.
