Assessment of Objective and Subjective Fatigubility in Obese

Abstract Aim: This study aimed to quantify objective fatigue using the Long Distance Corridor Walk (2-Minute Walk Test and 400-Meter Walk Test) and evaluate subjective fatigue using the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) in obese adults.
Objective: To assess the prevalence of fatigue in obese.
Methods: An observational study was conducted on 60 obese adults (BMI > 30 kg/m²), aged 18–25 years, recruited from the Kopargaon region. Participants meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria were assessed using the FAS, 2MWT, and 400MWT. Data were analyzed using unpaired t-tests to compare no-fatigue and moderate-fatigue .
Results: Age did not differ significantly between groups (p > 0.05). However, BMI was significantly higher in the moderate-fatigue (mean 32.5) compared to the no-fatigue (mean 28.5) (p < 0.01). Functional performance outcomes showed that the moderate-fatigue walked shorter distances in the 2MWT (119.4 m vs. 123.5 m, p < 0.05) and required longer times in the 400MWT (377.6 s vs. 352.0 s, p < 0.01). These findings indicate that higher BMI is associated with increased fatigue and reduced walk-ing performance.
Conclusion: Fatigue in obese young adults is strongly associated with BMI and measurable declines in physical performance, despite their relatively young age. Subjective fatigue, as assessed by the FAS, aligns with objective measures of fatigability. Early identification and management of fatigue in obesity are essential to prevent long-term functional decline and associated comorbidities
