Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assessment of functional status, using the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) instrument. The instrument includes 20 items classified into eight categories: dressing and grooming, getting up, lying down and getting out of bed, eating, walking, hygiene, reaching, grasping, and other daily activities. For each item, the participant indicates her degree of difficulty in four possible answers, from "no difficulty" (no points) to "unable to do it" (three points). The final score is given by the average score of the eight categories.;Body Image Evaluation, according to the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). The BSQ quantifies women's level of satisfaction and concern with their body shape in the four weeks prior to the application of the instrument.;Body Mass Index (BMI) assessment. BMI is given by weight (in kilograms) divided by height (in meters) squared. To obtain weight, an electronic balance (TANITA BC 601) will be used, and the height will be obtained using a compact wall stadiometer (SLIM FIT). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluation of the reciprocal of the ponderal index (RPI), given by the height (cm) divided by the cube root of the body weight (kg). The RIP is an alternative anthropometric indicator to the BMI to identify overweight.;Evaluation of the waist circumference (WC), measured in centimeters with a MACROLIFE tape measure, at the midpoint between the last rib and the iliac crest, at the moment of expiration.;Evaluation of the Waist-to-height ratio, determined by dividing waist circumference (cm) by height (cm).;Evaluation of the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), given by the division between waist circumference (cm) and hip circumference (cm), measured with a tape measure positioned in the area of greatest gluteal protuberance. ;Evaluation of the conicity index (C index) proposed by Valdez (1991). The C index is a measure of abdominal obesity, based on the idea that as people accumulate fat around the waist, the shape of their bodies seems to change from a cylinder to a "double cone" (two cones with a common base). A person with a C-index equal to 1 has a WC (considering his height and weight) equal to what he would have if there were no abdominal fat (a cylindrical person). Thus, it is expected that the higher this index, the greater the accumulation of abdominal fat.;Evaluation of fat mass and lean mass, given in percentage (%). A bioelectrical impedance balance (BIA) will be used to obtain fat mass and lean mass.;Use of the Weight Concerns Scale (WCS). Body weight concern is an important component of body image and can have an important impact on an individual's life, especially on health. The simultaneous use of the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and WCS scales in the present research provides a more "robust" measure of body image assessment in women, because together they consider body weight and body shape. ;Evaluation of the Flanagan's Quality of Life Scale (QoLS). The QoLS is composed of 16 items divided into five dimensions: physical and material well-being, relationships | — |
