Association between inflammatory potential of diet and odds of gestational diabetes mellitus among Iranian women.

The possible relationship between diet-related inflammation and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) requires further investigation, especially in non-Western populations. We examined the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) scores and GDM in a case-control study conducted in Iran. This study included 122 GDM cases and 266 controls hospitalized for acute non-neoplastic diseases.

Association of Major Dietary Patterns with Cardio-metabolic Risk Factors in Type 2 Diabetic Patients.

Background: Role of dietary modifications on the treatment and management of diabetes and complications was shown by many researchers. This study was designed to examine the association of major dietary patterns with diabetes-related cardio-metabolic risk factors in Iranian diabetes.

Methods: Totally, 525 type 2 diabetic subjects with mean age 55 ± 10 yr were included in this cross-sectional study in 2014 that followed for at least two years by the Diabetes and Metabolic disease Clinic of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

The Association of Bread and Rice with Metabolic Factors in Type 2 Diabetic Patients.

Purpose: Carbohydrates are shown to have an important role in blood glucose control, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases risk. This is even more challenging when considering populations consuming refined grains diets. Bread and rice are staple foods which supply main proportion of Iranian calorie intake.

Nutritional Education Needs in Relation to Ramadan Fasting and Its Complications in Tehran, Iran.

Background: Ramadan fasting is associated with some lifestyle changes. A lack of nutritional needs knowledge or the improper performance of fasting, particularly in relation to time, type and amount of food intake, can cause disorders such as indigestion, bloating, constipation, headaches and other clinical problems.

Objectives: To investigate the general knowledge regarding dietary factors associated with Ramadan fasting and its related complications.

Ramadan major dietary patterns.

Background: There has been no data on population based dietary patterns during the Ramadan fasting month.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to detect Ramadan major dietary patterns among those who fast in Tehran.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 600 subjects, aged 18-65 with body mass index (BMI) of 18.

New challenges in dietary pattern analysis: combined dietary patterns and calorie adjusted factor analysis in type 2 diabetic patients.

Background: Some variability for dietary pattern analysis due to subjective procedures (e.g. arbitrary food categorization and number of factors extraction) was reported.

Factors associated with sexual function in Iranian women with type 2 diabetes mellitus: partner relationship as the most important predictor.

Background: No comprehensive study has been conducted on risk factors of sexual dysfunction in women with diabetes mellitus.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to consider all possible influencing variables including hormonal, physical and, psychological status, socioeconomic status, and dietary intake to get more accurate and reliable results.

Patients And Methods: Sexual function was assessed by Iranian validated female sexual function index (FSFI).

Association of high carbohydrate versus high fat diet with glycated hemoglobin in high calorie consuming type 2 diabetics.

Background: Since both dietary carbohydrate and fatty acids separately affect carbohydrate metabolism, how dietary macronutrients distribution may have different effects on carbohydrate metabolism pathways and regulation of blood glucose especially in diabetic patients.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study 750 type 2 diabetic patients (261 men and 489 women, aged 35-65 years),who at least two years were followed in Diabetes and Metabolic disease Clinic of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, were recruited according to inclusion and exclusion criteria by simple sampling. Dietary data were collected by a validated food frequency questionnaire.
