Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to examine the level of body awareness in individuals with obesity and investigate the parameters associated with body awareness. In addition, compare these parameters with healthy subjects with normal weight. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• How is body awareness affected compared to healthy individuals?
• Is physical activity level, dynamic balance, proprioception, and reaction time related to body awareness in individuals with obesity?
• Is there any difference between obese and normal-weight individuals in terms of physical activity level, dynamic balance, proprioception, and reaction time?

Conditions

Obesity

Keywords

Obesity; Body awareness; Physical activity; Balance; Proprioception; Reaction time

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Body Awareness

  The Body Awareness Questionnaire will be used to assess body awareness. This questionnaire includes physical, emotional, and social aspects of a person's susceptibility to normal or abnormal bodily conditions and processes, questioning susceptibility to physical reactions. There are 18 statements in the questionnaire, each scored between 1 and 7 points (1=Not at all suitable for me, 7=Completely suitable for me). The total score is 126 and higher indicates a better body awareness level.

  Baseline (Only 1 time)

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Physical activity level

  Baseline (Only 1 time)

• Dynamic balance

  Baseline (Only 1 time)

• Proprioception

  Baseline (Only 1 time)

• Reaction time

  Baseline (Only 1 time)

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 65 Years
• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study will include 30 individuals with obesity and 30 healthy subjects. The individuals with obesity will be selected from internal medicine or dietitian clinics in Istanbul/Turkey. Healthy subjects will be age and sex-matched to serve as the control group.

You may qualify if:

• Adults with obesity ((BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2) aged 18-65 years, who did not receive obesity-related treatment 6 months before the study
• Healthy adults with normal weight (BMI: 18.5-24.9 kg/m2).

You may not qualify if:

• Musculoskeletal, neurological, and rheumatological disorders (fractures, sprains or strains, spine surgery, advanced respiratory or orthopaedic problems),
• Malignancy and pregnancy within the last 12 months, which might interfere with evaluations
