- Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the association of risk factors for the occurrence of diabetic foot with the presence of clinical changes and the degree of risk stratification. This is a crosssectional study, carried out between August 2018 and April 2019 with 284 patients monitored by the Family Health Strategy in a municipality in the state of Maranhão. Most were classified as grade 0 (74.1%), followed by grade 3 (11.9%) for diabetic foot. Those with inadequate and sedentary diets were twice as likely to have altered tibial and pediatric pulse, respectively. In addition, sedentary individuals were three times more likely to have absent sensitivity. It was concluded that the risk factors favored the occurrence of clinical changes, so its early identification is important to improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients, as they are related to the development of the diabetic foot.
