Summary

This study aims to investigate the effects of body weight on physical activity level, functional capacity, balance, and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A total of 50 volunteer patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be recruited from the Internal Medicine and Nutrition outpatient clinics of Bezmialem Vakıf University Hospital.

Participants will be prospectively evaluated through face-to-face interviews. Assessments will include body composition analysis (Omron Body Composition Monitor), waist-to-hip ratio, lower extremity muscle strength (Muscle Hand-Held Dynamometer), grip strength (Hand Grip Dynamometer), physical activity level (International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form), functional capacity (6-Minute Walk Test), balance (Biodex Balance System), clinical balance (Berg Balance Scale), and quality of life (Nottingham Health Profile).

All statistical analyses will be performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 20. With this study, we aim to comprehensively evaluate multiple parameters in individuals with T2DM and investigate their interrelationships, thereby contributing to the current body of knowledge in the literature.

Observational Assessment

The demographic, clinical, and personal characteristics of the individuals will be collected and recorded through a questionnaire. For all participants, body fat percentage (%), skeletal muscle mass percentage (%), visceral fat percentage (%), and resting metabolic rate (kcal), measured using the Omron Body Composition Monitor, will be recorded. Waist and hip circumference will be measured with a tape measure; lower extremity muscle strength (M. Quadriceps) will be assessed with a muscle hand-held dynamometer; grip strength will be assessed with a hand grip dynamometer; physical activity level will be evaluated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF); functional capacity will be measured with the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT); postural stability and balance will be assessed with the Biodex Balance System; clinical balance will be assessed with the Berg Balance Scale; quality of life will be evaluated using the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP)
