| الوصف: | Introduction Although there are similar characteristics between obese individuals and fall-susceptible population, little is known about relationships between body weight and risk factors for fall, particularly in the elderly population. The aim of this study was to determine whether body mass index-based obesity is associated with decreased balance and whether instability has relationships with the main risk factors for falls. Methods A total of 317 participants were categorized based on their body mass index. Clinical balance assessments were performed using the Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go test, and Short Physical Performance Battery. The knee extensor strength of each individual was measured using a dynamometer. Total sway distance was calculated on InBody posturography in four conditions. Results The results of three clinical balance assessment tools showed significant correlation with body mass index. The obese group showed decreased isokinetic knee extensor muscle strength and had a higher total sway distance than the normal weight group. Conclusions The elderly population with obesity exhibits poor balance performing ability, and it is associated with the decreased strength of the lower limbs and impaired postural stability. The logistic regression analysis of our study showed that body mass index-based obesity can be regarded as a fall risk. |
