Summary

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.

Conditions

• Sarcopenic Obesity
• Sarcopenia
• Obesity

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Ultrasonografi, Sarcopenia measurement, Zebris	The rectus femoris muscle thickness of the participants will be performed in B mode via USG (Mindray-UMT 200,USA) with a multifrequency (7-15 MHz) linear probe and the measurement will be reported. TANITA for sarcopenia, hand grip strength and walking speed will be evaluated. Gait time-distance parameters and Static balance COP parameters (COP speed (cm/s) and COP length (cm)) will be recorded using Zebris™ FDM-2.
