Health Tip: How Your Feet Age
Spreading is typical
Friday, February 1, 2013
The University of Michigan Health System says common changes to aging feet include:
- Spreading of the feet, which may require a bigger shoe size.
- Loss of the fatty padding on the bottoms of the feet.
- Thinning of the skin on the feet and loss of elasticity, resulting in more frequent injury and infection.
- Difficulty stretching the tendons and ligaments in the feet.
- Nails become thicker and more brittle.
