Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and postural dynamic balance among 35-45 aged women (n=40). It was measured BMI using Tanita BC-418 and stability indices were obtained using Biodex Stability System (eyes open and eyes closed). Subjects were tested 60 seconds, starting level 8 and finished level 3. It was found that 20% of subjects were normal (n=8), 45% were overweight (n=18), 35% were obese (n=14). There were found that statistically significantly difference between groups (normally, overweight and obese) in the open-eyed balance test (F(2, 37)= 7.845, p0.05). In conclusion, it can be state that a decrease in balance stability is strongly correlated to an increase in body weight among 35-45 aged healthy women. This suggests that women should be healthy weight before menopausal stage and keep it because of body weight may be an important risk factor for falling.

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı 35-45 yaş grubu kadınlarda BKİ ile postural dinamik denge ilişkisinin araştırılmasıdır (n=40). Katılımcıların BKİ`leri Tanita BC-418 ile postural dinamik denge ise Biodeks stabilite sistem ile ölçülmüştür (göz açık ve göz kapalı). Katılımcılar 60 sn süreyle 8. seviyede başlayıp 3. seviyede sonlandırılarak test edilmiştir. Katılımcıların; % 20`si normal, (n=8), % 45`i kilolu (n=18), % 35`i obez n=14) olarak belirlenmiştir. BKİ`ne göre gruplar arasında (normal, kilolu ve obez) göz açık OA indeks farkı (F(2, 37)= 7.845, p0.05). Sonuç olarak, 35-45 yaş kadınlarda BKİ arttıkça denge becerisinin zayıfladığı söylenebilir. Denge becerisinin azalması düşme riski taşıdığından kadınların menapoz öncesinde sağlıklı BKİ aralığında olmaları ve her yaş döneminde bunu korumaları önem taşımaktadır.
