Article Synopsis
- Self-rated health (SRH) is used to gauge overall well-being and is associated with health outcomes, but its link to hypertension is unclear, prompting this study in Iranian patients.
- The research involved 886 patients in Isfahan, using questionnaires and medical assessments to gather data, and analyzed factors affecting SRH using statistical tests.
- Results showed that 89.62% reported good SRH, with education and income positively influencing SRH, while comorbid conditions led to poorer SRH, suggesting that socioeconomic status is crucial for improving health outcomes in hypertensive individuals.
Background: Using manometer sphygmomanometers as standard measurement tool, there are controversial data regarding accuracy and validity of digital manometers for measurement of systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Thus, we aimed to compare the accuracy of readings of digital sphygmomanometer in reference to mercury sphygmomanometer in a large population of healthy adults.
Methods And Materials: This cross-sectional study was performed on 1119 healthy adults.
Background: This study was performed to determine the association of Pre-hypertension/hypertension (pre-HTN/HTN) with leisure-time activities and morning exercise at school in a sample of Iranian adolescents.
Methods: This secondary study has done using data of 1992 adolescents participated in of Isfahan Healthy Heart Program. The outcome variable was having/not having pre-hypertension/hypertension (pre-HTN/HTN).
The association between dietary acid load and metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk is not well-known. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary acid load and the risk of MetS among Iranian adults. This cross-sectional study was carried out on 1430 Iranian adults.

The current study aimed to assess the trend of mean salt intake in Iranian adults between 1998 and 2013.
Methods And Results: These cross-sectional studies were performed on 564, 157, 509 and 837 randomly selected healthy adults aged >18 years from Isfahan city, Iran, in 1998, 2001, 2007 and 2013, respectively.
