Background: Although adherence to a healthy dietary pattern is one of the primary recommendations for the prevention of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), there is still no conclusive evidence of which specific dietary pattern is best. The Lifelines diet score (LLDS) is a new, evidence-based scoring system to determine diet quality, and its association with PCOS has not been investigated. The present study aimed to assess the association between LLDS and PCOS in Iranian women.

Article Synopsis
  • Gallstone disease (GD) is a common gastrointestinal issue, and diet plays a crucial role as a risk factor, prompting this study to explore the link between dietary quality (measured by the Healthy Eating Index or HEI-2015) and serum metabolic health in women with GD.
  • The research included 150 women—75 with GD and 75 healthy—assessing their dietary intake and measuring metabolic parameters through standard lab methods, using statistical analyses to find correlations.
  • Findings indicated that lower serum HDL-c levels were linked to a higher risk of GD, while higher HOMAIR levels suggested an increased risk, but no significant correlation was found between the HEI-2015 score and metabolic serum parameters.

Background: Considering inflammation as a primary occurrence in gallstone formation, this study aimed to determine the relation between serum biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress, and dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) score with the risk of gallstone disease (GD) among Iranian women.

Materials And Methods: Present BMI-matched case-control study was performed among 75 women with GD and 75 healthy controls. Biochemical parameters were measured by standard laboratory methods.

Background: Previous studies examined the effects of obesity on sperm parameters and reported inconsistent results. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the association between obesity and the quality of sperm parameters in infertile men.

Material And Methods: The present cross-sectional study evaluated 218 infertile men aged 20-50.

Background: Obesity and overweight status increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Diet quality can also predict the risk of cardiovascular diseases in obese and overweight patients. Therefore, in this study, we sought to examine the relationship between diet quality index (DQI) and cardiometabolic risk factors in obese and overweight women.

Background: Obesity affects body composition and anthropometric measurements. A Body Shape Index (ABSI) and Body Roundness Index (BRI) are reportedly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between ABSI, BRI, cardiometabolic factors, and inflammatory elements is not well-elucidated.

Background: Gallstone disease (GSD) and its complications are major public health issues globally. Although many community-based studies had addressed the risk factors for GSD, little is known about the associations between dietary factors and risk of disease. The present study aimed to investigate the potential associations between dietary fibers with the risk of gallstone disease.
