Statement I/O is spent on scattered I/O (usually representing a full scan) on the index specified in the Object column.
Heavy Scattered I/O on Index findings

Description
What to do next
Perform one of the following options:
n   Click the Locate icon to find the relevant step in the execution plan
n   Select the findings type to investigate the objects used and their structure in the Objects tab
n   Select the Activity workspace, locate the statement associated with objects, and drill to the index consumption for the statement in the Activity workspace
Advice
To reduce the index I/O consumption, consider the following solutions:
n   If the index is not used to prevent a sort operation, consider adding the INDEX_FFS hint and change DB_FILE_MULTIBLOCK_READ_COUNT parameter to a higher value.
n   Switch to another index or add a new index.
n   Use a parallel query option.
n   Move the index to another tablespace with a higher block size.
Findings refer to the whole statement - not to a specific execution plan. If a step does not exist in the selected execution plan (unless this is due to an index overhead), switch to another plan and locate the relevant step.
