Article Synopsis
- * Out of 860 participants, 16.4% were found to have low muscle mass, with higher rates in males (20.24%) compared to females (12.73%), influenced by factors like age, smoking, and physical activity.
- * The findings emphasize promoting healthy lifestyle changes and addressing modifiable risk factors to manage sarcopenia, while also calling for further research on causal relationships and interventions for better muscle health.
Article Synopsis
- - Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a rare genetic diabetes type, and identifying genetic variants is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment, especially since most data is from European populations, leaving a gap for Iranians.
- - A study analyzed genetic data from 20,002 participants in Iran, focusing on known MODY genes and evaluating their risk factors, finding 6 pathogenic variants linked to MODY in 45 participants from 24 families.
- - This research is significant as it's the first family-based study to explore the genetic landscape of MODY in Iran, highlighting the need for further investigation into the identified variants.
Objective: To evaluate sex- and age-stratified body composition (BC) parameters in subjects with wide age range of 20-79 years.
Design: Cross-sectional.
Setting: Participants of Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS).
The Tehran cardiometabolic genetic study (TCGS) is a large population-based cohort study that conducts periodic follow-ups. TCGS has created a comprehensive database comprising 20,367 participants born between 1911 and 2015 selected from four main ongoing studies in a family-based longitudinal framework. The study's primary goal is to identify the potential targets for prevention and intervention for non-communicable diseases that may develop in mid-life and late life.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study in phase V (2012-2015), 1271 participants (age ≥ 20 yr; 54.3% women) were enrolled.
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of a community-based lifestyle education on primary prevention of metabolic syndrome in a middle-income country.
Study Design: This study followed 3,180 individuals free of metabolic syndrome who were under the coverage of three health centers in Tehran from 1999 until 2015. They were undergoing triennial examinations resulting in four re-exams.
Background: The increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in childhood makes lifestyle interventions imperative during adolescence. This study aimed to assess the effects of a community-based lifestyle intervention on MetS and its components in adolescents.
Methods: Adolescents, based on their residential area were categorized into three groups: complete intervention (residing in the intervention area at baseline and during all follow-ups), incomplete intervention (residing in either the intervention or control areas and were in transition between these two areas), and control group (residing in the control area at baseline and throughout all follow-ups).
Background: Cardiometabolic risk factors comprise cardiovascular diseases and/or diabetes, and need to be evaluated in different fields.
Objective: The primary aim of the Tehran Cardiometabolic Genetic Study (TCGS) is to create a comprehensive genome-wide database of at least 16,000 Tehranians, who are participants of the ongoing Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS) cohort.
Methods: TCGS was designed in collaboration with the Research Institute for Endocrine Sciences and the genetic company deCODE.
Recently, Joint National Committee has changed the optimal therapeutic goal of systolic blood pressure (SBP) up to 150 mm Hg for elderly population. We aimed to investigate impact of different blood pressure (BP) categories on risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality among elderly. The present study included 1845 participants, aged ≥60 years (mean age = 65 years), free of CVD at baseline, who had undergone health examinations between January 1999 and 2001, and were followed up until March 2010.

Methods: From a population-based study 3059 male individuals, aged ≥30 years, free of CVD at baseline were evaluated for a median of 9.3 years.
Aims: We examined hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) predictability for CVD and mortality.
Methods: Among Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study's participants aged ≥30 (n=8071), we selected those who participated in the follow-up study until 20-March-2009 (n=7154). After exclusions (320 missing data on waist circumference or triglycerides), 6834 (3830 women) participants remained eligible with a total of 59,873 person-year follow-up.
Performance of different definitions of metabolic syndrome for children and adolescents in a 6-year follow-up: Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS).
Diabetes Res Clin Pract
September 2010
Aim: To assess the utility of different definitions of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in predicting adulthood MetS among Tehranian adolescents in a 6-year follow-up.
Methods: A random sample of 2645 adolescents was selected from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS) in 1999-2001; MetS was assessed based on five definitions for adolescents. In 2005-2007, 572 age 18 years and over were assessed for MetS by NCEP ATP III adults' criteria.
Aims: Comparing waist circumference (WC) role in diabetes risk prediction and diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (MS) in different populations.
Methods: Population-based samples from Australia (n=9026) and Iran (n=8259) were studied in 2000 and followed for approximately 4 years. Follow-up attendance was approximately 58% and mean age was 51 vs.
