Distribution of the Highest Plantar Pressure Regions in Patients with Diabetes and Its Association with Peripheral Neuropathy, Gender, Age, and BMI: One Centre Study

Table 1

Association between APD and PSSN on physical examination; the presence of calluses and visible deformities.

NT; (%)	Patients with abnormal planter pressure distribution; (%)	Patients without abnormal planter pressure distribution; (%)	NT
Patients without peripheral symmetric sensory neuropathy	833 (91.8)	74 (8.2)	907	0.82
Patients with peripheral symmetric sensory neuropathy	61 (91.0)	6 (9.0)	67
Patients without calluses	588 (91.2)	57 (8.8)	645	0.32
Patients with calluses	306 (93.0)	23 (7.0)	329
Patients without foot deformity	728 (91.2)	70 (8.8)	798	0.17
Patients with foot deformity	166 (94.3)	10 (5.7)	176

A value of < 0.05 is considered statistically significant. Data are presented as number (percentage). NT: total number of patients, APD: abnormal plantar pressure distribution, PSSN: peripheral, symmetric, sensory foot neuropathy.
