- Registration Number
- NCT05638035
- Lead Sponsor
- Kutahya Health Sciences University
- Brief 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.
