Background And Aims: Studies suggest a potential link between ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) and the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, systematic reviews are lacking to pool these data and present a balanced review about this association.
Methods And Results: We performed a systematic search of PubMed/Medline, Web of Sciences, and Scopus from inception until November 2022 to search for prospective observational studies assessing the link between ideal CVH metrics, as introduced by the American Heart Association, and the risk of T2D in adults.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how dietary cholesterol and saturated fat (measured by the cholesterol/saturated fatty acid index, CSI) affect circadian rhythm and sleep quality among obese and overweight women.
- It involved 378 participants and used detailed dietary questionnaires along with sleep quality assessments to explore the relationship between CSI scores and sleep patterns.
- Findings indicated a significant association between higher CSI scores and a tendency toward eveningness in sleep patterns, suggesting dietary fat impacts sleep quality and circadian rhythms.
Background: The increasing trend of obesity prevalence is a serious health warning for people worldwide. Evaluation of anthropometric measures is essential for explaining individual's health status. Studies have investigated the effect of diet on inflammation.

This study was therefore focused on the association between dietary patterns and resting metabolic rate among participants with overweight and obesity.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 304 women with overweight or obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m), aged 18-50.
Background: Previous studies showed the possible association between obesity, dietary pattern, and depressive symptoms. Due to the lack of enough data to confirm the association of obesity and depression in the Middle East, here, we aimed to explore the possible mediatory role of adipokines Galectin-3, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), and endothelial plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) in the association between low carbohydrate diet (LCD) and depressive symptoms.
Methods: A total of 256 women aged 17-56 years old were grouped based on their LCD score.
Background: Diet quality has been suggested as an important factor in disorders such as obesity and mental health as it controls inflammatory biomarkers. This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) with bioelectrical impedance parameters and characteristics of health in overweight\obese women.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we calculated DII for 301 participants from their food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).
Food addiction (FA) has been as a construct that is associated with childhood obesity. However, relatively little is known regarding the prevalence of FA among children and adolescents. An instrument designed to assess FA among youth, the Yale Food Addiction Scale for Children and Adolescents (YFAS-C), has been developed and used to estimate FA prevalence among pediatric populations.

- This study explored the relationship between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and obesity-related factors among Iranian women, finding that an anti-inflammatory diet was associated with lower fat mass and higher fat-free mass.
- After adjustments for factors like age and physical activity, women on anti-inflammatory diets had significantly different body compositions compared to those on pro-inflammatory diets.
- Additionally, lower DII levels correlated with reduced serum levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), indicating a potential link to inflammation, suggesting that dietary choices could influence obesity and health outcomes.
Purpose: Previous studies have shown the connection between diet quality to sleep quality and weight status, although the relationship between Lifelines Diet Score (LLDS)-a fully food-based score that uses the 2015 Dutch Dietary Guidelines and underlying international literature-and sleep quality has not been evaluated in overweight and obese individuals yet. This observational study was conducted on overweight and obese adult females to assess the relationship between adherence to a LLDS pattern and sleep quality in Iran.
Methods: A cohort of 278 overweight and obese women aged above 18 years was enrolled and their dietary intake was assessed using a 147-item, semi-quantitative, validated food frequency questionnaire.
Objectives: Obesity plays an important role in the development of chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The possible underlying mechanism for this connection is that adipose tissue secretes an array of chemical messenger adipokines proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, and interleukin-1-beta). This study aimed to investigate the linkage between adipocytokines and insulin with the cardiovascular disease risk, with particular reference to the adipokines galectin-3, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and interleukin-1-beta, C-reactive protein, and monocyte chemoattractant protein.
