Results: The study findings revealed that the mean age of the study and control group were 44.5±10.1 and 44.0±9.3 years respectively. Also 50 % and 23.3% of study and control group had venous leg ulcer from 1 < 3 months respectively. In addition, 33.3% and 50% of study and control group their BMI was 30 kg/m².
