The Effect of Body Weight on Physical Activity Level, Functional Capacity, Balance, and Quality of Life in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

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)
