Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control group

The control group consists of healthy women.

Observation

Intervention Type OTHER

After the participants\' physical and sociodemographic characteristics were recorded, they were asked to fill out the Constipation Severity Scale and 7- Day Stool Diary to determine their constipation levels. The individuals\' anthropometric characteristics were assessed with triceps, subscapula, suprailiac and calf skinfold thickness, humerus and femur epicondyle diameter, biceps and calf circumference measurements, spinal postures were assessed with the Spinal Mouse, and physical activity levels were assessed with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form UFAA-KF and pedometer.

CC Group

The CC group consists of women with chronic constipation.

Observation

Intervention Type OTHER

After the participants\' physical and sociodemographic characteristics were recorded, they were asked to fill out the Constipation Severity Scale and 7- Day Stool Diary to determine their constipation levels. The individuals\' anthropometric characteristics were assessed with triceps, subscapula, suprailiac and calf skinfold thickness, humerus and femur epicondyle diameter, biceps and calf circumference measurements, spinal postures were assessed with the Spinal Mouse, and physical activity levels were assessed with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form UFAA-KF and pedometer.
