Detailed 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.
