Background: Although poor dietary habits have a great effect on the health status of children, especially in toddlers, a few questionnaires exist for the assessment of dietary imbalances. This study aims to assess the validity and reliability of the NutriCHEQ in Iranian healthy toddlers.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, first, the NutriCHEQ was translated to Persian and culturally adapted by the forward-backward translation technique.

According to studies, there are many inconsistencies in how IGF-1 levels change after bariatric surgery compared to before surgery, as well as its effects. These discrepancies can be attributed to various factors such as age, body mass index (BMI), and duration of intervention. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the level of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) after bariatric surgery.

Objective: Circulating insulin levels have been positively associated with risk of breast cancer (BrCa); however, it remains unclear whether a diet inducing an elevated insulin response influences Breast risk.

Methods: In this study, 250 newly diagnosed breast cancer patients and 250 hospitalised controls were recruited using convenience sampling. The dietary insulin index (DII) was calculated by dividing the dietary insulin load by the total energy intake.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Raheleh Nabavizadeh"

  • - Raheleh Nabavizadeh's research primarily focuses on the interplay between diet, antioxidants, and chronic conditions, including infections and cancer, as evidenced by her studies exploring dietary antioxidant capacity in relation to Helicobacter pylori infection and the impact of dietary insulin index on breast cancer risk.
  • - Her work includes the development and validation of nutritional assessment tools, as illustrated by her evaluation of the NutriCHEQ questionnaire for assessing dietary habits in Iranian toddlers, highlighting her commitment to addressing dietary imbalances in early childhood.
  • - Nabavizadeh's systematic reviews and meta-analyses, such as those addressing insulin-like growth factor-1 levels post-bariatric surgery, underscore her focus on understanding the physiological changes associated with dietary and surgical interventions in relation to obesity and associated health outcomes.
