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: Recent studies investigated the role of amino acids (AAs) in weight management. We aimed to determine the association between AAs and three-year change of anthropometric indices and incident obesity.
Materials And Methods: Height, weight, hip, and waist circumference (WC) were collected at baseline and follow up.
Background And Aims: The aim of this study is to investigate the association between the identified patterns of fruits and vegetables and metabolic syndrome (MetS) incidence, and to investigate whether lifestyle factors and socioeconomic status modify the effect of the patterns on MetS risk.
Methods And Results: We prospectively studied 1915 participants of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study, who were aged 19-74 years and followed up for dietary assessment using a validated, semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. After adjustment for confounding factors, total vegetable intake was inversely related to the risk of MetS.
We aimed to investigate associations of dietary intakes with unhealthy metabolic phenotype development, in normal weight and overweight/obese adults separately. A total of 1114 individuals, aged ≥19 years, with healthy phenotype in the third examination cycle of Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study were followed until the fifth examination. Dietary intakes were estimated using the food frequency questionnaires, collected during the study.

Methods: In this case-control study, 200 individuals with and 200 individuals without type 2 diabetes mellitus, aged over 40 years, were randomly selected from among participants of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. The questionnaire on household food security proposed by the United States Department of Agriculture was completed for them by trained personnel.
Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of a Persian translation of the Modifiable Activity Questionnaire (MAQ) in a sample of adults from Tehran, Iran.
Methods: There were 48 adults (53.1% males) enrolled to test the physical activity questionnaire.
