Observational Assessment

Observational Assessment: Participants will undergo a comprehensive observational assessment including anthropometric measurements, self-reported questionnaires, and performance-based functional tests. Body mass index and waist circumference will be measured to classify participants into BMI categories. Postural habits and awareness will be evaluated using the Posture Habits and Awareness Scale (PHAS), and body awareness will be assessed the Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ). Functional performance will be measured using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and the Five Times Sit-to-Stand (5×STS) test. No therapeutic or experimental intervention will be applied.

Study summary

This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the relationship between postural habits and body awareness with functional performance across different body mass index (BMI) categories in women. Participants will be categorized into four groups based on BMI (normal weight, overweight, obesity class I, and obesity class II-III). Postural habits and awareness, body awareness, and functional performance will be assessed using validated questionnaires and performance-based tests. The study also aims to explore the potential contribution of central adiposity (waist circumference) and psychological factors to these relationships. Findings are expected to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the biomechanical and perceptual factors associated with obesity.

Inclusion Criteria: * Female individuals aged 18-65 years * Classified into BMI categories (normal weight, overweight, obesity class I, obesity class II-III) * No obesity-related medical or surgical treatment in the last 6 months * Able to understand instructions and complete questionnaires Exclusion Criteria: * Neurological disorders affecting mobility (e.g., stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy) * Rheumatologic or inflammatory diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis) * Severe orthopedic conditions limiting mobility (e.g., advanced osteoarthritis) * Major surgery within the last 12 months affecting mobility or physical performance * Pregnancy * Acute musculoskeletal injury within the last 4 weeks

Primary outcome measure(s)

Postural Habits and Awareness Level (PHAS Score) — Baseline
Postural habits and awareness will be assessed using the Postural Habits and Awareness Scale (PHAS), a validated self-reported questionnaire. The total score ranges from 21 to 105, with higher scores indicating better postural habits and greater awareness. The primary outcome will be the total PHAS score and its comparison across body mass index (BMI) categories, as well as its association with functional performance.
