ABSTRACT

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the result of this study showed a statistical relationship between the increased BMI levels and FMS symptom severity that could be beneficial in clinical practice.

Results:

There were not statistically significant differences between PSS-10 and MMSE with body mass index (BMI) levels. There was a statistically significant difference between FIQ and BMI values.

Materials and Methods:

The study comprised 33 FMS patients (mean age 41.21±7.6 years). The patients who have hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia or diabetes, chronic inflammatory disorders, cardiovascular-pulmonary diseases, rheumatological/endocrine diseases, using anticoagulant therapy or have thrombotic disorders, malignancies and pregnant women were excluded from the study. Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Mini Mental State Examination tests were used. The data of FMS patients were recorded by the same physician.

Objective:

To investigate the relationship between obesity with symptom severity and cognitive functions in Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) patients.
