The participants' sociodemographic characteristics such as age, height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, marital status and education level, and anthropometric measurements, body fat percentage distributions, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c and lipid profiles will be recorded from previous analysis reports. Lower extremity quadriceps muscle strength Hand-held dynamometer, grip strength hand dynamometer, physical activity level International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form-IPAQ-SF, number of steps pedometer, functional capacity 6 minute walking test and quality of life will be evaluated with the European Quality of Life Scale-5 Dimension.
The components of MetS (abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high serum glucose, high triglyceride level and low HDL-C) differ according to demographic characteristics such as age, gender and comorbidities. Low physical activity level, genetic makeup, nutritional disorders, decreased muscle strength and low cardiorespiratory fitness can be counted among the risk factors associated with MetS. In our study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between the components of the MetS and muscle strength, physical activity, functional capacity and quality of life. Our secondary aim is to investigate the independent effects of different components of MetS on each parameter.
