Actual (reported)The prevalence of obesity, hypertension (HT) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing. The adoption of an increasingly sedentary lifestyle is one of the main factors contributing to the increased incidence of chronic diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, HT and T2D. Furthermore, lack of physical activity leads to a decline in functional capacity in these individuals, which facilitates the progression of HTN, T2D and obesity. The presence of multiple chronic comorbidities can exacerbate the negative impact on health-related quality of life. The main aim of this study was to compare the levels of physical activity, functional capacity and quality of life between elderly individuals with chronic comorbidities such as HTN, T2D and obesity and their healthy peers. Quality of life, functional capacity , and physical activity level will be assessed by SF-36 questionnaire, 6-minute walk test, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form, respectively.

Actual (reported)Level of Physical Activity
Physical activity will be assessed by SF-36 questionnaire. The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower the score the more disability.
10-15 minutes
Level of Functional Capacity
The 6-minute walking test will be used to assess the functional capacity. Participants will be recorded in a 30-meter straight corridor for 6 minutes at their own walking speed, as fast as possible but without running. The walking distance will be recorded in meters.
15-20 minutes
Level of Quality of Life
Quality of life will be assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form. (IPAQ-SF). The IPAQ scoring protocol assigns the following MET values to walking, moderate, and vigorous intensity activity: 3.3 METs, 4.0 METs, and 8.0 METs, respectively. If the participants reported at least 150 min/wk of walking, moderate, or vigorous intensity physical activity.
