Amaç: Obezite, genç yetişkinlerde denge, fiziksel aktivite ve vücut farkındalığı üzerinde çeşitli olumsuz etkileri olan küresel bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Bu çalışma, vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) gruplarına göre vücut farkındalığı, fiziksel aktivite düzeyi ve denge parametreleri arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 18-40 yaşları arasında 92 gönüllü katılmıştır. Olgular VKİ’ye göre normal kilo, fazla kilo ve obezite olmak üzere üç gruba ayrılmıştır. Vücut farkındalığı için Vücut Farkındalık Anketi, fiziksel aktivite düzeyi için Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi Kısa Formu, denge değerlendirmesi için Y Denge Testi ve Tek Bacak Üzerinde Durma Testi kullanılmıştır. Veriler SPSS 25 ile analiz edilmiş, normal dağılım Kolmogorov–Smirnov testi ile incelenmiştir. Gruplar arası karşılaştırmalar One-Way ANOVA ve Tukey-HSD ile, kategorik veriler Ki-kare testi ile, ilişkiler Pearson korelasyon analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir (p

Aim: Obesity is a global public health problem with various negative effects on balance, physical activity, and body awareness in young adults. This study aims to investigate the relationship between body awareness, physical activity level, and balance parameters according to body mass index (BMI) groups.Material and Methods: The study included 92 volunteer cases aged 18-40 years. Cases were divided into three groups: normal weight, overweight, and obesity, based on their BMI. The Body Awareness Questionnaire was used for body awareness, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form was used for physical activity level, and the Y Balance Test and the Single Leg Stance Test were used for balance assessment. The data were analyzed using SPSS 25, and the normal distribution was examined using the KolmogorovSmirnov test. Intergroup comparisons were evaluated using One-Way ANOVA and Tukey-HSD, categorical data were evaluated using the chi-square test, and relationships were evaluated using Pearson correlation analysis (p
