About

Research; It is a planned, non-invasive, controlled study in obese female volunteers and non-obese female volunteers. The population of the study consists of voluntarily non-obese women and obese women. Sarcopenia assets of individuals will be measured with the sarc-f questionnaire, and then muscle strength, muscle mass and physical performance tests will be measured. Then, rectus femoris muscle thickness will be measured with USG, and then walking and balance will be measured with ZEBRIS.

Enrollment: 1 estimated patient

Sex: Female

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Trial design

1 participants in 2 patient groups

non-obese women

Description:

After obtaining demographic information for women with a BMI of 18-27.9 kg/m2 for at least 6 months, Body Mass Index (BMI) will be calculated and the relationship between rectus femoris muscle thickness, sarcopenia, gait and balance will be evaluated and will be compared with obese group.

Treatment:

Diagnostic Test: Ultrasonografi, Sarcopenia measurement, Zebris

obese women

Description:

After obtaining demographic information in women with a BMI of 30-39.9 kg/m2, Body Mass Index (BMI) will be calculated and the relationship between obesity and rectus femoris muscle thickness, sarcopenia, gait and balance will be evaluated.

Treatment:

Diagnostic Test: Ultrasonografi, Sarcopenia measurement, Zebris
