Saturated fats network identified using Gaussian graphical models is associated with metabolic syndrome in a sample of Iranian adults.

Background: Gaussian graphical models (GGM) are an innovative method for deriving dietary networks which reflect dietary intake patterns and demonstrate how food groups are consuming in relation to each other, independently. The aim of this study was to derive dietary networks and assess their association with metabolic syndrome in a sample of the Iranian population.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 850 apparently healthy adults were selected from referral health care centers.

Association of health literacy and nutritional literacy with sun exposure in adults using structural equation modelling.

Background: Inadequate health and nutritional literacy is a common problem among adults, associated with poor health outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between health literacy and nutritional literacy to sun exposure behaviour.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on 261 adults (18-65 years) in Iran.

Meal-specific dietary patterns and their contribution to habitual dietary patterns in the Iranian population.

Recent studies have focused on habitual intake without addressing meal-specific intakes. We aimed to identify meal-specific dietary patterns and their contribution to habitual dietary patterns. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 838 adults, both sexes who attended the health centres in Tehran.

Association of Dietary and Lifestyle Inflammation Score With Cardiorespiratory Fitness.

Objective: We aimed to assess the potential association of dietary (DIS) and lifestyle inflammation score (LIS) and their joint association (DLIS) with cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in Tehranian adults.

Design: The present study was designed cross-sectional.

Participants: A total of 265 males and females aged 18-70 years (mean ± SD: 36.

Association of nightly fasting duration, meal timing and frequency with the metabolic syndrome among Iranian adults.

Accumulative evidence indicates that meal timing is associated with cardiometabolic risks by deteriorating circadian rhythms. However, evidence is unclear. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relation between nightly fasting duration, meal timing and frequency and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among Iranian adults.

Association between carbohydrate quality index and general and central obesity in adults: A population-based study in Iran.

To determine whether dietary carbohydrates quality index (CQI), glycemic index, and glycemic load is associated with general and abdominal obesity. 850 participants, 20 to 59 years old, were enrolled in a cross-sectional study from five Tehran districts through health houses. The 168 items in the semi--quantitative food frequency questionnaire were used to assess dietary intake.

Dietary networks identified by Gaussian graphical model and general and abdominal obesity in adults.

Background: Gaussian graphical model (GGM) has been introduced as a new approach to identify patterns of dietary intake. We aimed to investigate the link between dietary networks derived through GGM and obesity in Iranian adults.

Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 850 men and women (age range: 20-59 years) who attended the local health centers in Tehran.

Association of Dietary and Lifestyle Inflammation Score With Metabolic Syndrome in a Sample of Iranian Adults.

We aimed to evaluate the association between the dietary and lifestyle inflammation score (DLIS) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in a sample of Iranian adults. Population-based cross-sectional study. General adult population living in Tehran, Iran.

Water intake and risk of type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

Background And Aims: The association of water intake with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is still unclear. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to synthesize the knowledge about the relationship between water intake and the risk of T2DM.

Methods: We conducted a systematic search in PubMed and Scopus up to June 2018 for observational studies.

Associations between adherence to MIND diet and metabolic syndrome and general and abdominal obesity: a cross-sectional study.

Background: There is a lack of studies examining the association between Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) and obesity. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the association of adherence to the MIND diet with MetS and general and abdominal obesity.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 836 Iranian adults, 18-75 years old.
