Aging and the Fat Pads of the Feet: Structural and Functional Changes
The fat pads of the feet play a crucial role in shock absorption, weight distribution, and overall foot biomechanics. These specialized adipose structures, primarily located under the heel (calcaneal fat pad) and forefoot (metatarsal fat pad), undergo significant changes with aging, often leading to discomfort and an increased risk of foot-related conditions.
