This of study aim evaluate the effect of exercise behavior change processes on weight control in the prevention of obesity in elderly. This study was performed at age of 65 and over; formed a total of 25 participants who regularly try to improve their physical activity levels. Participants were selected from obesity levels (BMI (kg / m2) ≥30.00) according to body mass index. Attitudes of the participants in the behavioral dimension were determined by the Exercise Change Process Scale (ECPS) before and 6 months after the intervention. All statistical analyzes were performed with SPSS version 20.0. P values of less than 0.05 were considered significant. Differences between control and intervention groups pretest and posttest were analyzed by T test. According to the findings, when the comparison of age, height, body weight and body mass index values of the control group, no significant difference was found between the pretest and posttest measurements (p>0.05). However, there were significant decreases between the pretest and posttest measurements of the intervention group body weight and body mass index values (p<0.001). While there was an increase in the level of consciousness (p <0.05) according to the pretest and posttest results of the exercise group sub-dimensions of control group, no significant difference was found in other sub-dimensions and total score. However, there were significant differences in the other subscales and total scores (p<0.05) and (p<0.001) except for the helper sub-dimensions of the intervention group exercise change processes scale. In conclusion, prevention of obesity in the elderly The development of health within the scope of ECPS aims to make people sufficient to correct and control their own health.
