Obesity is; Increasingly becomes a challenge in
developed countries and as well as developing countries.
Obesity incidence in Turkey % 15-16
Women % 40Man % 20
Obesity,
Unfavorably affects respiratory systemProduces undesired alteration in; Respiratory mechanics Respiratory muscle strength Endurans Respiratory control Exersice capasity
Diyabetes mellitus Risk factors Hipertension Dislipidemi Coronary artery diseases
OBESITY
Purpose In this study throcal expansion, dispne severity,
cardiorespiratory endurance and quality of life of women were evaluated in women with obesity.
Materials and Methods:
Table 1: Mean Age and Body Mass Index of Groups
In two groups, cases who have orthopedic diseases and systemic diseases that interfere to exercise not included to the study
Mean Age(years)
Body Mass Index (kg/m²)
Study Group(n:15)
47 ± 7,8 35 ± 5,1
Control Group(n:15)
46 ± 7,4 24 ± 2,3
Thoracal expansion; Axillar Epigastric Subcostal, chest circumferences measurements
Cardiorespiratory endurance; 6 minutes walk test (6MWT)
Percieved exertion Modified Borg scale
Quality of life; Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) which
has subscales about energy level, pain, physical function, sleep, emotional response and social isolation
Dispnea severity; Medical Research Council Dispne
Scale (MRCDS)

ConclusionIn our study it has been seen that; Obesity decreases cardiorespiratory
endurance Unfavorably effects sleep subscales of
quality of life mesurement in women. We think that it has to be carried out more
extensive studies with more cases in the future.
