Evidence has argued about the association between dairy intake and premature coronary artery disease (PCAD) development aimed to be discussed in this study. This case-control study was conducted on 813 individuals with PCAD and 471 healthy controls. The dairy intake of participants was assessed by a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire.

The study utilized baseline data from the ongoing Cardiovascular Events in Breast and Colorectal Cancers (CIBC) cohort study conducted in Isfahan since 2019. Only patients who had recently been diagnosed with BC or CRC and had not undergone any treatment were included in the study.

Background: The study explores the enduring challenges of cardiovascular disease mortality, emphasizing myocardial infarction rates as a proxy for cardiovascular disease in Iran. It analyzes the 28-day mortality trends after Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) from 2000 to 2017.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study is based on data from a multi-centric hospital-based registry in Isfahan.
Background: Premature coronary artery diseases (PCAD) is a major health concern. Finding the potential risk factors for this health issue is crucial for early detection and prevention. This study aimed to evaluate the relation between age at menarche and PCAD presence and severity.

Background: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), an autosomal dominant disease, is associated with an increased risk of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aimed to examine the variations in serum levels of calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) among FH patients, as these factors have been associated with an increased susceptibility to CVD.
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the authors used data from Isfahan FH registry.

The management of hypertension and diabetes poses significant challenges to China's healthcare system, necessitating seamless patient progression through screening, diagnosis, management, and control. Utilizing the care cascade model, this study aims to systematically identify patient drop-offs and devise strategies to address healthcare delivery bottlenecks for hypertension and diabetes in rural China. This study consists of three phases.

In this paper, we aim to describe the IPAD biobank establishment and present some preliminary results of the IPAD study.
Methods: This case-control study was conducted on patients with documented angiography from different ethnicities in more than ten cities of Iran (males aged 60 years and below and females aged 70 years and below).
Over the past 70 years, there has been extensive research focused on preventing chemotherapy-related cardiovascular complications. However, the current state of cardio-oncology research has raised more questions than answers. Experimental studies often present data that are difficult to compare and, at times, contradictory.

Subjects And Methods: This study was performed on the pre-diabetic sub-population from Isfahan Cohort Study (ICS). Participants were followed up from 2001 to 2013.
People with COVID-19 infection continue to have their symptoms or develop new ones after recovery. This is called long-COVID syndrome. We aimed to examine the association of general and abdominal obesity with long COVID.

However, evidence is largely based on studies of European and North American populations, with heterogeneous analysis strategies and a greater focus on red meat than on poultry. We aimed to investigate the associations of unprocessed red meat, processed meat, and poultry consumption with type 2 diabetes using data from worldwide cohorts and harmonised analytical approaches.

Objectives: To determine the association between the EAT-Lancet Reference Diet (ELD) and premature coronary artery disease (PCAD) risk and its severity.
Introduction: Patients with hypertension and diabetes are more susceptible to cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the individual and combined effects of hypertension and diabetes on cardiovascular events and mortality in a Middle Eastern population-based cohort.
Methods: Fifteen-year follow-up data were collected for 6323 adults aged 35 years and older who were free from CVD at baseline.
Background: Disease-discordant twins are excellent subjects for matched case-control studies as they allow for the control of confounding factors such as age, gender, genetic background, and intrauterine and early environment factors. A cross-sectional study.
Methods: Past medical history documentation and physical examination were conducted for all participants.
Objectives: Patients experience complications following their recovery from COVID-19, known as post-COVID-19. This study aimed to investigate the association between baseline socioeconomic status (SES) and post-COVID-19 symptoms among hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients.
Methods: In the study, we used data from the Isfahan COVID Cohort (ICC) study, a 5-year longitudinal cohort study started from March 10, 2020.
Objective: With rising demand for soft drinks (SDs) in low-income countries, studies examining mental disorders in relation to SDs are rather scarce. Therefore, we aimed to explore this association in a sample of Iranian adults.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out within the framework of the multi-centric LIPOKAP project, with 1970 Iranian healthy adults.
Introduction: The prevention and control of dyslipidemia, as an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), is a priority for the healthcare system to reduce the burden of these diseases. The purpose of this protocol is to outline the key steps of the first Iranian Dyslipidemia Clinical Practice Guideline development, which can be used by other researchers as a guide to design a standard, comprehensive, evidence-based, and local context-based guideline.
Method: This guideline will be developed and reported according to the format of the World Health Organization (WHO) Handbook for Guideline Development.
