<![CDATA[Background: Body mass index is an indicator used to determine a person's body composition, its relation to nutritional status. An imbalance in nutritional intake in the body can result in abnormal BMI values in the form of overweight to obesity. Being overweight in children over a long period of time can result in certain deformities in the feet, one of which is flat foot. Objectives: This study examined the relationship between flat foot that measuring using Clarke’s Angle and Body Mass Index. Methods: This study used an Observational analytic design with a cross-sectional method. The subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Each subject had their body mass index measured and a foot print test. Flat foot is measured using the footprint test with the Clarke's angle parameter. The correlation test used to test between variables is the Spearman test. Results: 265 samples meeting inclusion criteria, most flat foot cases occurred in males. A total of 36 research subjects were overweight, evenly between females and males. Spearmen test analysis indicated a highly significant p=0,001 (p<0,05), suggesting a significant relationship between flat foot and overweight. Conclusion: Flat foot that measuring using Clarkes’s angle had a significant relationship with overwight. Keywords: Flat foot; Body Mass Index, Adolescence]]>
