Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) poses a significant public health challenge, contributing to considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide, which necessitates urgent preventive measures. Thyroid disorders, prevalent in many individuals, are intricately linked to metabolic health, yet studies on their relationship with T2DM yield inconsistent results-some suggesting an increased risk with abnormal thyroid hormone levels, while others indicate potential protective effects. This study investigated the association between changes in serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) levels and the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between EEE and body composition indices among postmenopausal women.
Methods: Data were obtained from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS), including 960 women aged over 40 years.
Objectives: This cohort study investigated the possible association of dietary nitrate (NO)/nitrite (NO) intake and risk of progression to type 2 diabetes (T2D) across different phenotypes of prediabetes (Pre-DM).
Methods: A total of 1586 adults diagnosed with Pre-DM [i.e.
Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the importance of vaccinations for children during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on factors affecting parents' decisions in an urban setting.
- A cross-sectional study in Tehran surveyed 226 children aged 5 to 18, revealing that only 22.1% had received vaccinations and showing correlations between parental vaccinations and child vaccination rates.
- Motivations for vaccination were primarily safety and illness prevention, while hesitancy stemmed from concerns over harm, lack of trust, and uncertainty about efficacy; addressing these issues through education and public health outreach is essential for improving vaccination rates.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how reproductive factors (RFs) like age at menarche, number of births, and duration of breastfeeding affect the risk of fractures in women.
- It followed a cohort of women from 1999 to 2021, finding that 3.3% experienced fractures during the study period, while adjusting for confounders.
- Results indicated that more childbirths and older age at menarche increase fracture risk, while longer exclusive breastfeeding decreases it.
