Association between abdominal obesity and nutritional supplement use among Iranian adults in the Shahedieh cohort study.

The relationship between the use of supplements and the presence of abdominal obesity is a topic that is currently being debated. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the existence of such an association. The current cross-sectional investigation included a population of 9878 individuals who were the focus of the study's initial phase in the Shahedieh cohort study, conducted in Yazd, Iran.

An updated systematic review and Meta-analysis of the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Iran, 1996-2023.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) poses a significant threat to public health, and the anticipated surge of over 100% in the age-standardized prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Iran between 2021 and 2050 underscores the pressing need for focused attention. The rationale for estimating the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Iran becomes even more compelling when considering the potential cascading effects on the healthcare system, quality of life, and economic burden. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and trends of DM from 1996 to 2023 in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Epidemiology of cervical cancer in Iran in 2016: A nationwide study of incidence and regional variation.

Background: Cervical cancer is a common, and fatal cancer in women worldwide. This cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women after breast, colorectal, and lung cancer.

Aims: This study aims to investigate the age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) and the geographical distribution of Cervical Cancer in Iran.

Cancer in Iran 2008 to 2025: Recent incidence trends and short-term predictions of the future burden.

Policymakers require estimates of the future number of cancer patients in order to allocate finite resources to cancer prevention, treatment and palliative care. We examine recent cancer incidence trends in Iran and present predicted incidence rates and new cases for the entire country for the year 2025. We developed a method for approximating population-based incidence from the pathology-based data series available nationally for the years 2008 to 2013, and augmented this with data from the Iranian National Population-based Cancer Registry (INPCR) for the years 2014 to 2016.

Comparing the Frequency of Some Oral Lesions in Prediabetic and Healthy Individuals: Is There Any Difference?

Background: Diagnosis of prediabetic stage is very important for prevention of diabetes and complications. This stage may be associated with some oral lesions. Only a few studies are available on the oral status of prediabetic patients and incidence of oral lesions in this population.

Using Routine Data to Categorize Poor Control Diabetic Patients: An Application of Cluster Analysis Technique.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality all over the world. Chronic high blood glucose is the root cause of developing future micro and macro vascular complications. In current study, we analyzed poorly controlled patients' information by clustering method in order to find more homogenous sub-groups of patients for planning for further interventions.

Population attributable fraction of modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer disease: A systematic review of systematic reviews.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia. Demonstrating the modifiable risk factors of AD can help to plan for prevention of this disease. The aim of the current review was to characterize modifiable cardiovascular risk factors of AD using existing data and determine their contribution in AD development in Iran and the world.

Perceived risk of exposure to indoor residential radon and its relationship to willingness to test among health care providers in Tehran.

Background: Radon exposure is the second cause of lung cancer after exposure to tobacco smoke and the first cause in nonsmokers. The purpose of this study was to assess perceived risk of exposure to indoor residential radon among health care providers in urban and rural health centers affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences.

Method: In 2012-2013, a survey was carried out on 462 health care providers to assess their awareness and risk perception about exposure to indoor residential radon.
