Summary

The prevalence of obesity, hypertension (HT) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing. The adoption of an increasingly sedentary lifestyle is one of the main factors contributing to the increased incidence of chronic diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, HT and T2D. Furthermore, lack of physical activity leads to a decline in functional capacity in these individuals, which facilitates the progression of HTN, T2D and obesity. The presence of multiple chronic comorbidities can exacerbate the negative impact on health-related quality of life. The main aim of this study was to compare the levels of physical activity, functional capacity and quality of life between elderly individuals with chronic comorbidities such as HTN, T2D and obesity and their healthy peers. Quality of life, functional capacity , and physical activity level will be assessed by SF-36 questionnaire, 6-minute walk test, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form, respectively.
