Clinical Trial Summary

It is known that the incidence of obesity, which is a global health problem, is higher in women. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship of obesity awareness with physical activity level and sedentary behavior in obese women.

Description:

Obese people are at risk for medical conditions that can lead to greater morbidity and mortality. It is known that the incidence of obesity, which is a global health problem, is higher in women. Lack of physical activity and sedentary behavior are well-known risk factors for obesity and the relationship between them has been supported by many studies. As a matter of fact, some studies have reported that public health programs should focus on increasing individuals' physical activity levels as well as reducing sitting time. While examining the sedentary behavior and physical activity levels of obese women, evaluating their obesity awareness status, can facilitate increasing their awareness of the disease, initiating and complying with treatment. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship of obesity awareness with physical activity level and sedentary behavior in obese women.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Obesity Awareness	Obesity awareness will be measured by Obesity Awareness Insight Scale and Obesity.	baseline
Secondary	Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire	It is a questionnaire developed to evaluate the time spent performing 9 sedentary behaviors on a normal weekday and weekend day. The questionnaire has nine different response options. For the total score, the durations of the behaviors in hours are added separately as weekdays and weekends. To obtain the average sedentary behavior times for weekdays and weekends, the total duration of the week is multiplied by 5, and the total duration of the weekend is multiplied by 2.	baseline
Secondary	International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form	The questionnaire allows calculation of metabolic equivalent (MET) by measuring frequency, duration and physical activity intensity level in the last seven days and shows weekly physical activity amount. It is calculated as weekly working hours (MET-min/week). Physical activity levels of individuals according to the calculated MET value: (1) <600 MET-min/week not active (sedentary, inactive), (2) 600-3000 MET-min/week minimally active, and (3) >3000 MET-min/week very active (physical activity that increases well-being) classified as.	baseline
Secondary	Waist circumference	Waist circumference will be measured with a tape measure in the standing position, by determining the midpoint between the lowest rib and the iliac crest from the exposed waist circumference.	baseline
Secondary	Body fat-muscle ratios	These measurements will be determined by bioelectrical impedance.	baseline
