Abstract [eng] The aim of research work: to determine the interrelationships between physical and functional status, psycho-emotional state, and sleep quality among overweight or obese women. Working tasks: 1. To reveal the characteristics of physical development in overweight or obese women. 2. To determine the functional status of overweight or obese women. 3. To examine the psychological state and sleep quality of overweight or obese women. 4. To identify the relationships between the physical and functional status of overweight or obese women with sleep and psychological state. Materials and methods: A one-time cross-sectional study Results: Statistically significant differences were found between all three groups in muscle mass (F=881.261; p<0.001), fat mass (F=211.917; p<0.001), and relative grip strength of the left (F=33.463; p<0.001) and right hands (F=34.093; p<0.001). Vital lung capacity and resting or immediate postural heart rate did not differ significantly between groups (p>0.05), but heart rate after 1 minute was higher in the obesity group (F=3.854; p=0.025). Heart rate recovery after aerobic exercise showed no significant differences at 1–4 minutes (p>0.05), but after 5 minutes it was significantly higher in the obesity group compared to the control group (p=0.047; p<0.05). Relative anaerobic power was lower in the obesity group (F=12.125; p<0.001). Differences in sleep disturbances and anxiety levels were not statistically significant (p>0.05), but depression levels were higher in the obesity group (p=0.016). Conclusion: As body weight increases, muscle and fat mass also increase. Obese women have greater muscle mass and fat content than overweight women, but lower handgrip strength and relative anaerobic power. While sleep quality did not differ significantly between groups, overweight women slept significantly longer. Snoring or coughing during sleep was more common among obese women. Depression levels were higher in obese women, though anxiety levels did not differ significantly between groups. Higher BMI, fat percentage, and visceral fat were associated with lower handgrip strength and power, while greater muscle mass was linked to a lower resting heart rate.
