Background: Hypertension (HTN) is a major global public health concern. This study aims to identify gender differences to inform more effective prevention strategies and targeted management approaches.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 7,710 participants aged 40 to 70 years, with a mean follow-up duration of 5.
Background: Dietary patterns are important factors associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). We examined the association between dietary patterns derived from factor analysis and CVD risk factors.
Methods: In the present cross-sectional study, a total of 3,687 adults (aged 40 to 70 years) with one or more types of CVDs were enrolled as participants.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers found that the average age girls start their periods is about 14 years, but it has been getting younger over the past 100 years.
- * Different countries showed different trends, with some like China having ups and downs, while others like Japan and Singapore had a steady decline in the average age.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between dietary total antioxidant capacity (dTAC) and the risk of lung cancer (LC) in an Iranian population.
- Researchers conducted interviews and dietary assessments with over 600 lung cancer patients and 3,400 healthy controls across 10 provinces in Iran.
- Results show that higher dTAC, measured by FRAP and TRAP scores, correlates with a lower risk of lung cancer, with consistent findings across different demographic and lifestyle groups.
Objective: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common cause of death worldwide. Diet plays an important role among many risk factors for CVDs. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between carbohydrate quality index (CQI) and conventional risk factors of CVDs in Iranian adults.

Study Design: Multicentre case-control study.
Methods: This study included 627 cases and 3477 controls from the Iranian Study of Opium and Cancer (IROPICAN) study, which was conducted between 2017 and 2020.
Article Synopsis
- The research investigated risk factors for early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC) in the Iranian population, highlighting the need for more epidemiological studies and early screening in families affected by CRC.
- It utilized data from a multicenter case-control study, focusing on individuals under 50 and examining various lifestyle, dietary factors, and family history related to CRC development.
- Key findings indicated that higher vegetable consumption and vitamin D levels were linked to lower CRC risk, while increased red meat intake and opium use were associated with higher risk, particularly among individuals under 35.
Background And Aims: Declines in estradiol levels after menopause have been reported to be associated with several health outcomes. This study aimed to determine the effect of age at natural menopause (ANM) on some of the most common chronic diseases.
Methods: This historical cohort study was performed on 2636 postmenopausal women aged 40-70 years participating in phase one of the PERSIAN cohort study in Kharameh, Iran, during 2015-2017.
Background: As the use of electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers continues to rise globally, concerns have been raised about their potential impact on human health. Exposure to high energy visible (HEV) blue light, emitted from digital screens, particularly the so-called artificial light at night (ALAN), has been associated with adverse health effects, ranging from disruption of circadian rhythms to cancer. Breast cancer incidence rates are also increasing worldwide.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Natural menopause is defined as the permanent cessation of menstruation that occurs after 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea without any obvious pathological or physiological cause. The age of this phenomenon has been reported to be associated with several health outcomes.
Objectives: This study aimed to estimate the Age at Natural Menopause (ANM) and to identify reproductive and demographic factors affecting ANM.
Purpose: The Kharameh cohort study (KHCS) is one branch of the 'Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies in Iran', located in the south of Iran. The enrolment phase of KHCS spanned from April 2015 to March 2017, during which urban and rural residents of Kharameh were enrolled in the study. KHCS aims to investigate the incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and cancer, and its related risk factors in a 15-year follow-up.

- Limited data show a potential link between bladder cancer and waterpipe smoking, prompting further investigation in this area of public health.
- The study analyzed 717 bladder cancer cases against 3,477 controls, revealing a significant risk increase for exclusive waterpipe smokers, especially those smoking more than two heads per day or starting before age 20.
- The findings suggest that waterpipe smoking could be a serious risk factor for bladder cancer, even in individuals who do not smoke cigarettes or use opium, highlighting the need for policy changes.
Background: The overall incidence of breast cancer is different all over the world and even within a nation. The present study aims to investigate the stratum-specific incidence trends of breast cancer in southern Iran.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, the data of Fars Population-Based Cancer Registry was used during 2001-2018.
Background: Opium use has been associated with an increased risk of cancers of the lung, oesophagus, and pancreas, and it was recently classified by the International Agency for Cancer Research as carcinogenic to humans. It is not clear whether opium also increases the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of our study was to assess the association between various metrics of opium use and the risk of CRC.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Recent studies have suggested that opium use may increase mortality from pulmonary diseases. However, there are limited comprehensive studies regarding the prevalence of Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) among tobacco and opium users has been published. We aimed to determine the prevalence of respiratory disease among tobacco and opium users.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the relationship between liver enzymes and hypertension.
Methods: This prospective cohort study utilized data from the Kharameh cohort study, which is a branch of the Prospective Epidemiological Studies in Iran (PERSIAN) database.
Background: A comprehensive strategy to reduce the complications of hypertension (HTN) should include prevention approaches, such as increasing awareness, early diagnosis, and adequate treatment. The present study aimed to assess awareness, treatment, and control of HTN and their related factors in Kherameh, Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 10 663 individuals aged between 40 and 70 years using the Kherameh cohort data.

Despite this, few studies have investigated UPFs in Middle Eastern populations regardless of high consumption in this region.
Methods And Results: This cross-sectional study was conducted on data from the Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies in Iran Kharemeh cohort (n = 6611).
